Draper honest about comparison with Alcaraz and Sinner: I'm not at their level yet

It has been an incredible week for Jack Draper at Indian Wells. After defeating Alcaraz (6-1, 0-6, 6-4) in the semifinals and Rune in the final (6-2, 6-2), the Brit arrives in Florida full of confidence.

In Miami, he will attempt to replicate this performance and strive to approach the consistency of the top 5 players. Even though he is aware that he still has a long way to go.

In an interview with Sky Sports, the 23-year-old player discussed the comparison with Sinner and Alcaraz:

"I have a lot of respect for Sinner and Alcaraz, and I need to work hard to reach their level. Alcaraz has already won four Grand Slams, and Sinner has won three.

Both are still very consistent, and I'm not at their level yet. I still need to work hard, improve, and win a lot.

I respect them, but, at the moment, I'm not at their level. I hope to reach them in the future and continue to fight for the biggest titles."

Draper is the No. 6 seed at the Miami Masters 1000.
