Draper returns in Eastbourne under new coach Andy Murray
Eastbourne next week will see the return of Britain’s Jack Draper watched by his new coach Andy Murray
The 24 year old last played a competitive match in early April and needs to get back to match fitness with Wimbledon starting on 29 June.
2024 US Open semi-finalist Draper was a late withdrawal from Queens last week and now feels ready to put himself to the test.
This will also be Draper’s first tournament under Murray’s guidance.
Draper was previously coached by 39 year old Murray’s one time coach Jamie Delgado before announcing that the triple grand slam champion would be supporting him for the grass season.
When asked if the partnership was to be a long-term project, 39-year-old Murray said: “I hope so”
“I think the number one priority for Jack and the team just now is getting him back on the match court, competing and gaining trust in his body again.”
