Draper targets ‘really strong’ end to year after Davis Cup disappointment
Britain's Jack Draper during the Davis Cup group stage finals match at the AO Arena, Manchester, September 15, 2024

JACK DRAPER is looking to bounce back in Asia as he targets a strong end to the season following the disappointment of Great Britain’s Davis Cup exit.

The 22-year-old arrived in Manchester on a high from his run to the US Open semi-finals and breakthrough into the top 20, but he was unable to guide his country to the quarter-finals, losing to Argentina’s Francisco Cerundolo and Felix Auger-Aliassime of Canada.

Draper looked understandably a little mentally and physically jaded, but he will fly out to Tokyo on Tuesday to prepare for next week’s Japan Open followed by the Shanghai Masters in China.
