Draper: “Grass is a completely different cover. Especially after Rolan Harros ”

British tennis player Jack DraperDespite the excellent performance in the early herbal season, he acknowledged that he was not at the height of the form and still seeks to improve his game to the main tournament on the grass – Wimbledon 2025.

At a press conference, the British analyzed all aspects of his game and outlined the directions that he would continue to work on in the coming days.

“There are some flakes. I think I’m good, but I can take better. Movement is, of course, an important part of tennis, especially to start playing well, and the first week on the grass is always difficult. My game can be more stable – and it will become more stable. The more I train and play, the more I add. ”

A bad habit

“The trainer and I are working hard to ensure that I am more likely to be on the ball. When you look at the best tennis players in the world – they always go forward, and sometimes I retreat back – this is my bad habit. But I do it less often and gets better. My forthand has become a real weapon – I trust him. ”

The fourth sowing room on Wimbledon 2025

“It’s a big step for me. I remember when I came to Wimbledon last year, being 30th or 40th in the ranking. Being among the top four in the year is a huge progress, proof that I am moving in the right direction. I live this sport, I am obsessed with progressing, to become the player I want to be, and achieve the goals. Sowing, of course, gives confidence, but every match on Wimbledon is very complicated, because many top rivals, like this week. But I know I’m in my place. ”

The defeat of Yannik Sinner in Halle

“He hardly loses. I do not know accurate statistics, but the coach showed me on Instagram that he did not lose anyone but Alaras, with Cincinnati. He was the most stable and strongest tour player. Grass is a completely different coating. Especially after Rolan Harros. I was not surprised that it was difficult for him-it was his first tournament on the grass, and it is difficult to immediately show top-level. I am sure when Wimbledon begins – he will add. He is not superhuman – and will lose, especially at such a level of competition. ”

Fans and safety

“I always had only positive impressions of communicating with the fans. Perhaps girls are more anxious – and it is clear. It is a little easier for men if something happens. Here, at Queen’s Club, everything is organized perfectly – there is a wonderful guard with me. I think if ATP and WTA continue to support such security protocols, it will be correct. ”
