The 22-year-old arrived in Manchester on a high from his run to the US Open semi-finals and breakthrough into the top 20, but he was unable to guide his country to the quarter-finals, losing to Argentina’s Francisco Cerundolo and Felix Auger-Aliassime of Canada.
Draper looked understandably a little mentally and physically jaded, but he flies out to Tokyo today to prepare for next week’s Japan Open followed by the Shanghai Masters in China.
