JACK DRAPER celebrated becoming the new British No.1 by winning his first ATP Tour title and embarrassing the bungling sponsors.
And the left-hander is now set to be seeded at Wimbledon for the first time.
Draper fought back to beat former SW19 finalist Matteo Berrettini 3-6 7-6 6-4 in the final of the Boss Open in Stuttgart.
The 22-year-old had missed the grass season last year with a shoulder injury which saw him fall out of the top 100, and he lost his first two ATP Tour finals in Sofia and Adelaide.
He also admitted he was struggling with his game after losing in the first round of the French Open.
But Draper refound his form and fitness on grass to seal the biggest win of his career with his 12th ace.
