Heads up, Anyone into Tennis.
Jack Draper, newly into the top 10, about to try and win one of the 'Biggies' outside the slams.
Live on Sky.

Brilliant player but possibly lacks the subtlety to get to the very top from what I've seen of him.

6-2 6-2 in an hour and a bit is pretty conclusive.
A deserved champion.

Jack Draper is now at the very top in 3 set matches, not quite the best yet, but competitive with the best.
His physical stamina now needs to be improved, and then he can get competitive in 'the slams'.
