Juan Martin del Potro Backs Jack Draper to Compete with Top Players, But Stresses Importance of Physical Health

Former US Open champion Juan Martin del Potro believes Jack Draper has the potential to compete with the likes of Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz, but notes that the British player must overcome his physical struggles to reach the top. Del Potro, who has experienced his own share of injuries throughout his career, emphasized the need for Draper to gain confidence in his body. Draper has shown promise, defeating Novak Djokovic in Indian Wells, but has been plagued by injuries and anxiety issues. Del Potro advises Draper to build a strong support team, including a physical trainer and mental coach, to help him navigate the challenges of professional tennis. With the Madrid Open approaching, Draper will look to regain his form and make a strong showing, while British No 1 Cam Norrie and Emma Raducanu also prepare to compete in the tournament.
