Jack Draper has rapidly risen to become Britain's top tennis talent and will get the chance to prove how good he is against Carlos Alcaraz on Wednesday.
Having turned professional in 2018, Draper, 23, showcased early promise by reaching the boys' singles final at Wimbledon that year and he has gone from strength to strength since.

Last year saw the Londoner catapult into the wider public conscience when he clinched his maiden ATP Tour title at the Stuttgart Open, defeating Matteo Berrettini in a hard-fought final. His triumph in Germany was followed by a notable win over Alcaraz at the Queen's Club Championships, underscoring his prowess on the grass.

His impressive run at the US Open saw him reach the semi-finals, making him the first British male to do so since Andy Murray in 2012. He ended the year with an ATP 500 title in Vienna, breaking into the top 15 rankings.
Draper's momentum has continued into 2025. He secured his first Masters 1000 title at Indian Wells, defeating Holger Rune in the final, which catapulted him up to a career-high ATP ranking of No. 5.
Wimbledon champ Alcaraz stands in the way of him and the Italian Open semi-finals. But ahead of the clash with the Spaniard in Rome, we take a closer look at the player's life off the court.

Vast net worth
Draper has seen his net worth surge in recent years as high as $8m (£6m), according to BBN Times. The 23-year-old's rapid rise in the sport has been fuelled by major on-court successes and an expanding portfolio of endorsement deals.
Draper has earned more than $6.7m (£5m) in career prize money to date. His breakthrough performances in 2024 — most notably that semi-final run at the US Open and the ATP 500 title in Vienna — were key milestones in a standout season. That momentum carried into 2025 with the landmark win at the Indian Wells Masters.
Off the court, Draper has become a sought-after figure for major brands. He currently holds endorsement deals with Nike, Dunlop, and Vodafone, which are thought to collectively contribute up to $850,000 (£637,000) annually to his income. These commercial partnerships have further solidified his financial standing and reflect his growing appeal as one of Britain's most marketable young athletes.

With his powerful left-handed game, mental resilience, and continued development, Draper has emerged as a leading figure in British tennis.

Girlfriend situation and Emma Raducanu rumours
Draper has made it clear that his primary focus remains on his burgeoning tennis career, leaving little room for romantic engagements. Despite his rising fame, Draper has expressed a preference for genuine connections over dating apps.

In a candid interview, Draper said: "I've been fortunate to forge a few genuinely strong connections with people. For me, what matters most is someone with ambition, their own purpose in life, who is kind, non-judgmental, and upholds strong values."
He emphasised that, at this stage in his life, his priority is to become the best tennis player he can be, especially given the challenges of maintaining relationships amidst a demanding travel schedule.
Speculation has surrounded Draper's personal life, with rumours linking him to fellow tennis star Emma Raducanu. However, both athletes have consistently maintained that their relationship is purely platonic, rooted in a longstanding friendship.

Draper was also rumoured to be involved with American influencer KT Lordahl, who was reportedly present at several of his matches during the 2024 US Open.
She posted from each of Draper's matches at the tournament, sparking rumours on social media and in the national press.
The Instagram model has more than a million followers on the social media platform. Nevertheless, Draper has not confirmed any romantic involvement and continues to keep his personal life private.

Tennis player flatmate
Draper has taken the decision to move in with old friend and fellow tennis player Paul Jubb.
The pair have become housemates in south west London, with Draper having recently moved out of his Surrey family home to live with the fellow tennis pro, who know each other from their junior tennis days.
The arrangement marks a new chapter for Draper, who has embraced the independence that comes with homeownership. In a recent interview, he shared his enthusiasm for domestic life, noting, "I'm enjoying being able to wash my own clothes. There's been the odd shrinking disaster, but we're back on track."

Jubb, 25, originally from Kingston upon Hull, has a strong record in ATP Challenger and ITF Futures/World Tennis Tour finals, with nine wins and only two losses.
From York, Jubb won the 2019 NCAA singles title and reached a career-high ATP ranking of No. 180 in 2024. He has claimed multiple ITF titles, an ATP Challenger win, and pushed top players in Grand Slams, showing strong potential on the professional circuit.
Like Draper, it is hoped he, too, will make a significant impact in the tennis world in the coming years.

Successful dad
Jack Draper is the son of Roger Draper, who is known for his tenure as chief executive of Sport England from 2003 to 2006. He also held the position of chief executive at the Lawn Tennis Association (2006-2013) and professional rugby league club Warrington Wolves (2015-2017).
During his stint at the LTA, Draper Sr implemented a new initiative named 'Blueprint, a Strategy for British Tennis', with the aim of transforming the governing body of the sport into a more effective organisation.
The 55-year-old was instrumental in increasing British Tennis memberships by a staggering 500 per cent, and played a key role in launching mini tennis programmes to inspire more individuals to embrace the sport.

Since 2018, Draper Sr has been serving as the global business advisor for Boston Consulting Group (BCG).

Fish and chip shop powered by electric cars in UK seaside town

In celebration of National Fish and Chip Day on 6th June, the quaint seaside town of Deal in Kent served up 300 free portions of chips to delighted locals and visitors, with a side of battered fish while stocks lasted. The event wasn't your typical British fish and chip experience, though – the shop was fuelled by two electric vehicles and spearheaded by none other than TikTok star, the 'Chip Shop Diva' herself, Destiny Harold. The outlet's unique frying solution was powered by the Dacia Spring, celebrated by its makers as the 'cheapest electric vehicle' available. This venture was a collaboration with The Blue Mermaid Fish Bar. This inventive twist on the traditional chippy came about after a survey involving 2,000 adults identified fish and chips as the most craved indulgence during a British holiday. The survey also spotlighted other holiday favourites such as cream tea and hot doughnuts, Mr Whippy ice cream, Cornish pasties and mussels. Classic British foods like fish finger sandwiches, strawberries and cream, and pie and mash also made the list of the top 20 holiday treats. Speaking about the occasion, a representative from Dacia said: "It was fun treating passers-by today and showing the power of our electric car, Spring, using its vehicle to load technology, which allows you to power external devices off the car's battery." They added: "It's no surprise we have a national day dedicated to the iconic meal that is fish and chips and the study shows just how much we love it and associate it with holidays by the seaside." The study showed that 41 per cent of adults associate such foods with nostalgia, and 45% report feeling satisfied after indulging in them. Furthermore, 44 per cent regard fish and chips as the 'food of the people', asserting that social class does not doesn't impact how people eat it. Food psychologist James Cornish said: There are few things that unite the British public quite like fish and chips." He added: "There's a certain kind of magic in fish and chips - a simple meal that somehow carries the weight of memory, comfort, and delight. "Maybe it's because we don't expect too much from humble food, but our delight is excelled through delivering more than we expected."

Actor from Netflix's The Crown is convicted FRAUDSTER who stole £20k, lied about being military hero & wore fake medals

ARMY CON Actor from Netflix's The Crown is convicted FRAUDSTER who stole £20k, lied about being military hero & wore fake medals Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) AN actor who appeared in The Crown has been accused of stolen valour after posing as an officer in the Army reserves. James Yeates, 42, even attended an Honourable Artillery Company dinner in full Intelligence Corps mess dress. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 5 Actor James Yeates, 42, has been accused of 'stolen valour' Credit: Facebook 5 Veterans launched an investigation after a tip off Credit: Facebook Pictures showed him wearing three medals - the Queen's Diamond, Platinum Jubilee and King's Coronation medals - at the swanky do. Other online photos saw him posing in Intelligence Corps fatigues. But the convicted fraudster was exposed after veterans launched an investigation following a tip-off. In reality, the actor had never served a day of his life in the army. Read more News FAMILY'S AGONY Mum who tortured son so badly he lost his legs will be freed from jail EARLY Instead, he had purchased the medals on eBay. In an online profile he boasted: "I'm a fully trained, enthusiastic and versatile actor, l'm also a current serving officer in the British armed forces (reserves)." When The Sun confronted him he hastily amended the bio to read: "I'm a fully trained, enthusiastic and versatile actor." On another site, Backstage, he wrote: "Alongside being a professionally trained and working actor, I am also a current serving officer in the British Armed Forces (reserves)." His email auto-signature also read: "Major James Yeates, Co-Founder, Military and Aviation Advisors." But veterans say there is no record of him ever serving in the reserves and no mention of him in the London Gazette which lists every officers' commissions. Brit mum who 'scammed her SON' arrested after victims watched Netflix show Extra Yeates, who posted photographs of himself on the set of the Crown in 2018 and 2019, suggested the picture of him at the mess dinner was from a film set. But furious guests who also attended in March 2024 said an internal investigation was now underway to find out who invited him and whether he was vetted. Yeates also claimed his firm, Military and Aviation Advisors, had worked on the film, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, but there is no record showing their involvement. The Walter Mitty Hunters Club, who led the investigation, is now calling for a new law, the Stolen Valour Act, to make it a criminal offence. A spokesman said: "The sole reason we exist is because of people like Yeates. "If there were ever a strong reason for a stolen valour act, this is a prime example. "Yeates clearly has a well documented history for dishonesty, going by his past endeavours, and the undeniable evidence trail. "But to impersonate a serving Major in the Intelligence Corps, regular or reserve. "Wearing the uniform, rank, and medals, which Yeates has not earned, and taking in genuine veterans, and those still serving, when he had never even stepped foot in a training establishment or served one day in the armed forces is a step too far. "His deliberate actions are disrespectful to the service community and to those who paid the ultimate sacrifice in the service to the crown." 5 James was previously jailed for fraud in May 2015 Credit: Instagram 5 Veterans felt disrespected by James' actions and called for a 'stolen valour act' Credit: Instagram 5 James has run several failed businesses Credit: Instagram Yeates, of Dorking, Surrey, escaped jail in 2006 after he took more than £20,000 from customers' bank accounts after his business collapsed. He blew £22,650 within three days and later admitted using criminal property and transferring criminal property at Guildford Crown Court. A previous indictment of 30 counts relating to theft was left on file. He was later jailed for 12 months in May 2015 for fraud after spending £7,700 on a credit card that did not belong to him. He bought first class flights to Los Angeles to shoot a video which he hoped would encourage talent to join his YouTube network Jey Management. Last night, Yeates told The Sun: "Some comments I've made in the past may have been misunderstood or taken out of context. "My focus has always been on working professionally and in good faith. " He added: "At no point have I intentionally misled anyone, nor have I attempted to benefit professionally from any misrepresentation."
