It has been a memorable few weeks for Jack Draper in an unforgettable season for the Briton.
The lefty competed in the Olympics for the first time in Paris, where he enjoyed a front-row seat to the final event of Andy Murray’s career.
“lt was amazing. Andy’s been such a role model and an inspiration for me throughout the years,” Draper said.
“I think to be at his last event was incredible. Obviously, what he’s done for the sport and done for British tennis, hopefully I can take it forward from here.”
Draper has reached new heights in 2024, ascending to a career-high No. 26 in the PIF ATP Rankings in July and claiming his first ATP Tour title in Stuttgart.
But a memory that will stick out despite a second-round loss in singles is spending time with Murray and his teammates in Paris.
“To be a part of the team and to be at his last event, having watched when he was younger, what he’s achieved and stuff, that was really special and a real honour for me,” Draper said.
“Hopefully, he’s going to stick around and not be a stranger.
He’ll still be around and give advice and be a good friend.”
