Del Potro backs Draper to compete with tennis elite, but warns of physical demands

Juan Martin del Potro, a former Grand Slam winner, believes Jack Draper has the potential to compete with top players like Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz, but notes that Draper needs to build confidence in his body. Del Potro, who struggled with injuries throughout his career, emphasizes the importance of physical and mental well-being in achieving success in tennis. Draper, who has been dealing with anxiety issues and injuries, including a recent bone stress injury in his left arm, will look to regain his form at the upcoming Madrid Open. Del Potro advises Draper to surround himself with a strong support team, including a physical trainer, physio, and mental coach, to help him navigate the challenges of professional tennis.
