Draper on the Schedule: "It's Mentally Very Draining"

Qualified for the semifinals of the Madrid Masters 1000, where he will face Lorenzo Musetti, Jack Draper spoke about the current tournament schedule during a press conference.

He particularly highlighted the difficulty of back-to-back tournaments that span two weeks:

"With these two-week events and the fact that we have less time to train and stay at home, it feels like we can't keep up. As a player, just thinking about it scares me.

I know we make a good living, we play in amazing atmospheres, and I love doing it, but mentally, it’s very draining.

I hope the ATP will address this at some point and sort it out a bit. They should give us more time to train. I think a lot of top-ranked players are underperforming because of this. It’s not about their level, but because they’re playing too much."
