Draper participated in the 2024 edition of the Queen’s ATP
Championship, where he was knocked out after losing in the quarterfinal to 2024
US Open runner-up America’s Taylor Fritz with a score of 6-3, 5-7, 6-4. Despite
losing in the quarterfinals, Draper would be happy with his performance in the
competition as he defeated the reigning world number three Carlos Alcaraz in
the round of 16 in straight sets with a score of 7-6, 6-3. Fritz eventually won
the competition as he defeated Italy’s Lorenzo Musetti in the final in straight
sets with a score of 6-1, 7-6.
Overall, Draper played in 59 matches in 2024, winning 39 and
suffering just 20 defeats. He also lifted two titles. His last appearance was
in the Paris Masters, where he lost in the third round to Australia’s Alex de
Minaur with a score of 5-7, 6-2, 6-3. The Sutton-born will be hoping to take
his good form into next season and become the first British player to win the
Queen’s ATP Championship in nine years. The last British player to lift the
title was the former world number one Andy Murray in 2016 as he defeated Canada’s
Milos Raonic in the final with a score of 6-7, 6-4, 6-3.

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Having spent weeks and weeks through the years on tour, I can say with confidence that Conchita was (is) one of the very few who realize the surprising level of maturity (and sometimes lack of) which Mirra seems to have developed in such a demanding adult world of Pro-Tennis. While at the same time reminding herself (Conchita, that is) that Mirra is still young and developing mentally and physically. The general public may forget at times, or not at all realize, these modern era young athletes do not have a 'normal' Youth. It's a major sacrifice, among countless sacrifices, these athletes must make. People who blow-off that fact are ignorant and unfair when they blurt out, "They choose fame so they have to put up with the intrusions on their lives". No, they do not.mandoist05-11-2026
- Okay... someone with a camera was EAVESDROPPING on a private conversation. Shouldn't that be the point of discussion here? Regardless of the sensationalist crap by media, Pegula (and anyone) has a right to an opinion. There used to be an expectation that private conversations were respected, regardless of 'stardom' and whatever other defensive excuses media tries to shove in our faces. Boo-hoo if feelings are hurt. BTW: Having been employed at various tourney venues, etc., I can't tell you how nasty and offensive players can be when discussing their opponents and colleagues... in "private". Well, I could, but won't. I also challenge anyone to deny what Jessica said is false.mandoist05-11-2026
