Juan Martin del Potro, a former Grand Slam winner, believes Jack Draper has the potential to rival top players like Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz, but notes that Draper's success hinges on his physical well-being. Del Potro, who struggled with injuries throughout his career, emphasizes the importance of consistency, fitness, and mental toughness for Draper to reach his full potential. Draper, who has been dealing with a series of injuries, including a recent knee issue, is working to regain his confidence and physical form.
According to Del Potro, having a strong support team, including a physical trainer and mental coach, is crucial for athletes to overcome setbacks and perform at their best. As the tennis world looks to the Madrid Open, Draper will aim to bounce back from his recent setbacks and make a strong showing, with Del Potro expressing optimism about the future of British tennis.
