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.
“To be in my position now where I’m 20 in the world and all that progress I’ve made in all situations in my tennis, my mind, my body, the way I feel, I’m extremely proud of the work I’ve done in the last year, but I’ve still got a very long way to go and I’ve got a lot to improve and a lot to learn and work on,” said Draper.
