'I feel prepared for that': Jack Draper looking forward to speak to Andy Murray after French Open

Britain’s young tennis star, Jack Draper, stated that he is looking forward to asking for advice from his fellow countryman, Andy Murray. The 38-year-old is regarded as the greatest British player in the history of men’s tennis in the singles category in the Open era, having won as many as three Grand Slam titles in his illustrious career.

Draper, Britain’s number one, has already impressed many people with his skills on the court. He recently produced some incredible performances and lifted his maiden ATP 1000 title at Indian Wells, defeating Denmark’s Holger Rune in the final in straight sets, 6-2, 6-2.

Draper, who is currently in Paris to take part in the second Grand Slam of the year—the French Open—has recently been quoted in a report in which he stated that he is looking forward to speaking to Murray after the Roland Garros. The current world number stated that he is more than open to taking advice from one of the greatest players of his generation.

“There’s a bit more noise around everything for me,” he said. “I’ve always been aware that if I want to be a top player, what comes with that is more attention, good and bad. I’m ready for that. I’m adapting my life. Because I do believe that I can go right to the top. I’ve got my whole circle prepared for that and I feel prepared for that as well, because I’ve gone through lots of adversity and ups and downs. At the same time, like Andy always said, I’m gonna have a lot of love from people. I’m gonna have a lot of the crowds behind me at Queen’s and Wimbledon, and that helps massively. ’I’ll definitely pick Andy’s brains here and there. I think it’s a difficult one, because everyone has different things that work for them. So Andy might say something to me, and I’ll be like, ‘That’s not gonna make me feel my best.’”
