"I think that's what needs to be avoided," Wilander reveals Draper's enemy for this Wimbledon
On TNT Sports, former champion Mats Wilander discussed the case of British player Draper. According to him, the 23-year-old will need to stay strong to avoid buckling under media pressure:
"Social media and newspapers will be his biggest enemies because there will be a lot written about him. People will start trying to dig up things about him. I think that's what needs to be avoided. You can have all the other things happening outside. But if you start reading newspapers and social media, with articles popping up here and there, I think it becomes really harmful." These remarks were reported by Tennis Up To Date.
Especially since the world No. 4 hasn’t been handed an easy draw. While he’ll start against Argentina’s Baez, Draper could face Cilic in the next round and also Bublik as early as the third round.
