Draper on Nadal's Influence: "Drawing Inspiration from How He Intimidated His Opponents on Clay"

By Arthur Millot

Having secured his spot in the semifinals of the Madrid tournament by defeating Arnaldi (6-0, 6-4), Draper has guaranteed his entry into the top 5. He becomes the second left-handed player after Nadal to reach this ranking since 2000.

Inspired by the Spanish legend, the Brit reflected on Nadal's impact. He shared his thoughts in an interview reported by Tennis World Italia:

"I grew up watching Rafael Nadal—he’s also left-handed—and I never thought I’d be like him on clay. There are definitely things I can learn from the way he worked on his forehand. Drawing inspiration from how he dominated and intimidated his opponents on this surface."

To secure his first final in Madrid, he will need to defeat Italian Musetti in the semifinals.

I propose the following changes to the rules:

1...a walķover will not be a loss. We have no control of player's health. If he or she is entered in a contest we expect them to play.

2...an incomplete match is not a loss. If a player forfeits we pick another match if there are more to choose.

3...this also applies if TT cancels a match. TT will not take hours to decide an outcome.

How about leavin...

It's a shame that so many matches are being canceled. TT ,you are destroying your game ,and thereby killing your app. I don't know how many matches others have had canceled , but I'm at 3 and it's only thursday.

As a long time player and lover of this game , I don't know how much of this I can tolerate. For example I waited hours last night for you to confirm my win and post my points. Every ot...

An impressive win.. Congrats to our winner this week, jimandlori958 and with a score that could not be caught or matched. I don't remember a 56 in a while with our group. Nice to see everyone using the 2 point predictions. Can't win without 'em.
