Draper takes the crown in Vienna
The 2024 season is definitely one of consecration and confirmation for Jack Draper.
Having been destined for great things for some time now, the 22-year-old Briton seems to have finally reconciled himself with his physique, and is taking advantage of this to rack up a string of victories.
Quarter-finalist in Cincinnati, then semi-finalist at the US Open, he has just achieved his greatest career triumph by winning the ATP 500 in Vienna.
Impressive since the start of the week, he managed his final perfectly to beat the in-form Karen Khachanov (6-4, 7-5).
Initially dominating the proceedings (6-4, 4-0), he then managed to resist the thunderous comeback of an unleashed Russian to avoid a perilous 3rd set.
Bluffing, he will be ranked 15th in the world on Monday.
