Del Potro Backs Draper to Compete with Tennis Elite, but Fitness is Key

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 only if he can overcome his physical struggles. Del Potro, who has experienced his own share of injuries throughout his career, emphasized the importance of consistency, fitness, and mental toughness for Draper to succeed at the highest level. The British tennis star has shown promise, but his journey is hindered by injuries and self-doubt. Del Potro advised Draper to build a strong support team, including a physical trainer, physio, 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 impression on the tour.
