Draper confesses his bad habit: "I do it less and less"

After defeating Brandon Nakashima in the quarterfinals, Jack Draper continues to rack up wins on the grass of ATP Queen's 2025 while gaining confidence in his tennis. The British player achieved much more than just a victory over the American opponent. In addition to giving himself the opportunity to advance to the semifinals, Jack secured the fourth seed for Wimbledon, thus avoiding Sinner and Alcaraz until the semis.

Despite his great performance in the early stages of the grass season, Draper admitted that he is not yet at 100% and is still seeking a better version of his game for the big event: Wimbledon 2025. The Brit discussed and analyzed all the details of his tennis and aspects to improve in the coming days.

"There are definitely glimpses of things. I think I am serving quite well, could return a bit better. My movement, obviously, is something important in tennis to start playing well, and the first week on grass is quite tough. The level of play could be more consistent, it will come. The more I practice and play, the more I improve a bit more."

His Bad Habit

"My coach and I are working hard to try to keep me more on the ball. When you watch the best players in the world, they always move forward and I think sometimes I lag behind a bit. I go backward, that's my bad habit, but I do it less and less and it constantly improves. My forehand has become a really big weapon and a shot I trust."

Fourth Seed at Wimbledon 2025

"It's a big step for me. I remember that last year I went to Wimbledon ranked 30 or 40. Being among the top four a year later at Wimbledon is a huge progress, a testament. I live and breathe this sport, and I am obsessed with progressing and becoming the player I want to be all the time and achieving the things I want. It's another step in the right direction. At Wimbledon, regardless of the seed number, every match is very difficult because obviously there are many top players in the draw, like this week, but it gives me confidence to know that I am in that position and that I will be in the right place for it."

Jannik Sinner's Defeat in Halle

"He has hardly lost any matches. I don't know the statistics, I think my coach showed me something on Instagram that he hasn't lost to anyone except Alcaraz since Cincinnati. He has been the most consistent and best player on the circuit. Grass is a very different surface. Obviously, coming from Roland Garros. I'm not surprised that it worried Jannik because it's his first grass tournament, and it's hard to start playing great tennis. I'm sure that when Wimbledon arrives, he will step up. He's not superhuman. He will lose certain matches, especially with the level of players out there."

Fans and Harassment

"All my experiences with fans have been very good. Probably, as a woman, you would be a bit more on edge with things, and that's understandable. As a man, you can protect yourself a bit more if something happens. The protocol has been really good, especially here in Queen's. I've had a lovely guy looking after me, following me. I think as long as the ATP and WTA have good protocols around the players, that's good."
