About

In 2025, he won the Indian Wells Masters 1000 title, reached the Madrid final, and peaked at world No. 4.

“"I think the results are important, but I think [it is about] the grind of coming through a lot of different adversities... I'm in a really stable, good place, and I think that's the biggest win I have."”

How they play

Playing style

Jack Draper is a powerful left-handed baseline player at 6'4\" with a massive serve mixing slices, flats, and kickers that leverages his handedness for awkward angles. His bulletproof backhand penetrates flat and deep, serving as a key weapon, while his forehand generates heavy topspin and sidespin for swerve. He defends well from junior days but thrives by shortening points aggressively, though he can default to grinding rallies. Dangerous on fast surfaces like grass and hard courts where his power overwhelms.

Serve
Draper possesses one of the tour's biggest lefty serves, reaching 130 mph with variety including wide sliders/can-openers, flats, and kicks that jam returners. He wins 90%+ of first-serve points on good days but struggles with break point defense at 59% due to conservative play.
Groundstrokes
Backhand is his strongest shot, flat and penetrating even against forehands, hit with right-hand power; forehand is heavy with topspin-sidespin combo causing late swerve, a weapon when on but error-prone. Both driven deep to control rallies.
Movement
Improved movement allows solid defense and court coverage despite height; agile for size with good slides on clay, but prefers faster surfaces like grass and hard where less foot speed needed. Recent knee issues highlight vulnerability.
Weakness
Lacks aggression in key moments like break points, leading to passive rallying and poor 59% save rate; injury-prone with recurring arm, hip, shoulder, knee problems exploited by opponents prolonging points.
