Draper leads British hopes at Wimbledon
Left-hander seeded for first time at a grand slam after stunning win over Alcaraz

BRITISH number one Jack Draper has been seeded at a grand slam for the first time and will take on qualifier Elias Ymer in round one of Wimbledon, it was announced today.

The 22-year-old could also meet compatriot Cameron Norrie in round two and Alexander Zverev in round three.

Draper goes into the event on the back of a first ATP Tour title and victory over Carlos Alcaraz at Queen’s Club, while Norrie has been horribly out of form but has a kind first-round draw against Argentinian Facundo Diaz Acosta.
