Draper's Wimbledon Draw Looms After Eastbourne Exit
26 Jun
Summary
- Jack Draper lost in the Eastbourne Open semi-finals to Ugo Humbert.
- He will face Taylor Fritz in Wimbledon's first round.
- An injury-disrupted year has left Draper unseeded at Wimbledon.
Jack Draper experienced a setback at the Lexus Eastbourne Open, reaching the semi-finals before falling to sixth seed Ugo Humbert in straight sets. This result preceded the challenging draw Draper discovered for Wimbledon, where he is set to play world number seven Taylor Fritz in the first round. His unseeded status at the All England Club stems from an injury-disrupted year.
The 24-year-old's hopes for a maiden ATP title on home soil were dashed by the 7-5, 6-3 loss to Humbert. This marked Draper's first defeat since partnering with new coach Andy Murray. Humbert advances to the final to face Zizou Bergs, who defeated Toby Samuel in the other semi-final.
