"I think he’s going to be a top, top player for a long time": Murray full of praise for next opponent Draper

Andy Murray will face Jack Draper in the next round of the Indian Wells Masters and he's been quite impressed with the youngster and his rise in the past year.

Murray has known of Draper for a long time due to both being British players and using the same facilities once they are back home in the UK. Draper's father was long involved with the LTA as well which is another connection. They will face each other for the first time on the court in the 3rd round of the Indian Wells Masters and the Brit expects a really good match.

He said:

“It will be a good match. He obviously plays really well. He’s not actually competed that much on the tour, but when he has done, he’s always performed really well. I think he’s going to be a top, top player for a long time, providing he stays healthy. It will be a good match.”

Fans will surely hope for a really good match between the two because their Battle of the Brits clash was that way. Murray actually won that one earlier this year. In three sets of course.
