Draper ends Wimbledon champion Carlos Alcaraz’s reign at Queen’s

NEW BRITISH number one Jack Draper claimed the biggest victory of his career by beating top seed Carlos Alcaraz at the Championships.

The 22-year-old, now ranked a career-high 31 after winning his maiden ATP title in Stuttgart last week, stunned the reigning Queen’s and Wimbledon champion 7-6 (3) 6-3.

Spanish superstar Alcaraz, who also won the French Open earlier this month, had not been beaten in seven weeks or lost a match on grass in almost two years.
