Alcaraz Djokovic Draper Lopez Sinner Wimbledon

In an interview shared by Tennis Up To Date, former Spanish player Feliciano López spoke about Draper's chances at Wimbledon. According to him, the Brit has all the qualities needed to challenge Sinner and Alcaraz in the future, even though for now, the two players still seem to maintain a significant lead over the rest of the ranking:

"I still see a bit of a gap between Carlos, Jannik, and the rest of the players. Draper and Djokovic are probably the ones who could beat them, and grass is the surface where they will have the most chances. But given the way they've been playing lately, I don't see any signs of weakness from Carlos or Jannik.

As for Jack, he’s a very complete player who continues to develop his game. He will have a good chance against Carlos and Jannik on grass, but he probably needs to be a bit more consistent week after week. When he is able to reach his best level, I think he has already proven he can beat anyone. His progress over the last 18 months is really astonishing.

I remember two years ago, at the US Open, he was preparing for his first round. I was wondering if he would be able to play because he was coming back from a shoulder injury and had withdrawn from the Winston-Salem Open the previous week. Two years later, he is world number four. It's truly incredible what he has done, and for me, he is the player who will be ready to fight with Carlos and Novak for the big titles on grass.
