Del Potro Backs Draper to Compete with Tennis Elite, but Stresses Importance of Physical Resilience

Juan Martin del Potro, a former Grand Slam champion, 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 ability to stay injury-free and build confidence in his physical abilities. Del Potro, who struggled with injuries throughout his career, including wrist and knee problems, emphasizes the need for a strong support team to overcome setbacks. Draper, who has been dealing with anxiety and various injuries, including a recent knee issue, will aim to regain his form and compete at the highest level. According to Del Potro, British tennis is in good hands with Draper, who has shown promise with his impressive run to the quarter-finals in his Indian Wells title defence and his victory over Novak Djokovic.
