First up for us today is British 25th seed Jack Draper, who plays the Netherlands’ Botic van de Zandschulp on Grandstand shortly.
Draper says he wants to be “more aggressive” when he takes on Van de Zandschulp after taking time to reflect on some of his narrow defeats earlier in the year.
“I took a real look at myself. I said, ‘I need to be more aggressive in certain moments’,” said Draper.
“I think by losing the matches I did, especially there was a period where I lost three or four 7-6s on the trot against good players, I really felt like these guys aren’t going to let me win the match.
“I need to do it myself, and I need to play aggressively.”
