Draper: I felt the power of Ferrari but in fact was Toyota that breaks

British tennis player Jack Draper (ATP 6) made its way to the quarterfinals at the ATP grass tournament in London, the UK capital, defeating Australian Alexei Popyrin in the three -sided match of Australian (ATP 21).

After the match, the British, who received the second sowing room, analyzed his evolution in the last major tournaments, offering interesting reflections on his own level of the game.

“I have always worked out of court, and I think it helped me play more stable. I think matches at the beginning of the year in Australia greatly helped me to overcome a certain barrier. With every big helmet tournament, I feel better.

I used to feel the power of Ferrari in me, but in fact I was a Toyota, which is easy to break, ”Draper admitted.

“Now I’m starting to feel stronger and more confident. As for sleeveless jersey – I put it on several times as Nike gave me some of them. It’s not for someone. ”

The British also commented on the opportunity to reach Wimbledon 2025 in the status of the fourth sow.

“It is important, and of course, it can help, but at the same time I do not think about it at all. I have achieved all that I have reached tennis without getting hung up on the results. I just keep moving forward. I focus on what is really important to me that I can control.

I can’t control whether I will be able to show a wonderful match on Friday. I can’t control who my opponent will not manage all this. But I can control what I will do from that moment before going to the court – and I will prepare the best. I will give myself the best chance to achieve the result. And, of course, if I am the fourth sown, it will help significantly at Wimbledon. ”
