Jack Draper: The Sutton-born tennis star playing at Wimbledon

Jack Draper, 22, who was born in Sutton, south London, is set to begin his Wimbledon Championships campaign amidst huge excitement and expectation after the winning streak that made him the British number one.

In the space of a few days, Jack won his first major tournament in Stuttgart, became Britain’s highest ranked tennis player, defeated the reigning Wimbledon champion Carlos Alcaraz at Queen’s and was selected for Team GB at the Paris Olympics.

His mother, Nicky, who is a tennis coach at Parkside School in Cobham, acknowledged that “things have intensified a bit” for her son. Meanwhile, in a BBC interview, Jack admitted that to be a professional tennis player, “you have to be a bit nuts”.

The tennis star, who enters the Wimbledon tournament ranked as one of the top 30 players in the world, has been drawn against Sweden’s Elias Ymer, ranked 206, in the first round, which starts on Monday.
