Draper has now reached a total of five finals on the ATP Tour and looks set for a huge future in tennis having already proven he is capable of playing in the latter stages of a Grand Slam at Flushing Meadows last year.
British No.1 Jack Draper made an admission after Russian tennis star Andrey Rublev beat him 7-5 5-7 6-1 in the Qatar Open final on Saturday.
‘It feels great,’ Rublev, who made headlines in 2022 for writing an anti-war message on an ATP Tour camera, said after his triumph over Draper.
Draper, world No.16, went into the clash against Russia’s world No.10 Rublev as a slight underdog, looking to land his third-ever ATP Tour title.
Rublev had kind words for Draper following their close-fought final, with the Russian star winning the title in Doha for the second time in his career.
