Jack Draper: Tennis Star and Fashion Icon

Jack Draper, the rising star of British tennis, has made waves both on and off the court. Fresh off his triumph at the BOSS Open, the 22-year-old has graced the pages of British Vogue, showcasing his passion for fashion and his meteoric rise in the ATP rankings.

In an interview with Vogue's Emily Chan, Draper revealed his enjoyment of being in front of the camera, stating, "If I'm looking good, that is." His comments sparked a reaction from former Wimbledon finalist Eugenie Bouchard, who tweeted, "If I had said this 10 years ago I would have been crucified."

Despite his newfound modeling success, Draper remains focused on his tennis career. His victory in Stuttgart propelled him to a career-high ranking of No. 31, making him the likely top-ranked British player ahead of Wimbledon 2024.

Draper is set to face reigning Grand Slam champion Carlos Alcaraz at the cinch Championships in Queen's Club. While he acknowledges the fulfillment he finds in modeling, he emphasizes that tennis remains his top priority. "Right now I'm giving myself the best chance to progress and beat the best players in the world," he said.

Draper's journey has been marked by both success and adversity. In 2021, he suffered a serious ankle injury that sidelined him for several months. However, he has returned stronger than ever, proving his resilience and determination.

As he prepares for Wimbledon, Draper is confident in his abilities. "I'm feeling good about my game," he said. "I've been working hard and I'm ready to compete with the best."
