Draper channeled the spirit of his idol, Andy Murray, and his performance has not only sent pulses racing but also drawn attention from the likes of fashion icon Anna Wintour, who was present to witness Draper’s impressive journey.
In a light-hearted moment post-match, Draper shared his quirky nostalgia for Murray’s ‘stinky shoes and stinky clothes.’ Despite their close connection, Draper is keen to respect Murray's retirement, firmly stating he won't be bothering him for advice as he tries to carve out his own legacy in the world of tennis. Draper became the first British man to reach the last eight at Flushing Meadows since Murray himself achieved this feat in 2016, proving he’s ready to take over the reins of British tennis.
As Jack Draper gears up to face off against Australia’s Alex de Minaur in the next round, the excitement is palpable.
