Draper Returns: Barcelona Clay Court Challenge Begins
13 Apr
Summary
- Jack Draper returns to play at the Barcelona Open after a break.
- He faces Tomas Martin Etcheverry in his first clay-court match.
- Draper plans to compete in Madrid, Rome, and the French Open.
Jack Draper is slated to return to competitive tennis at the Barcelona Open, marking his first appearance on clay this season. The British No. 2 has been inactive since his early exit at the Miami Open.
His comeback match is against Tomas Martin Etcheverry, a player who has already demonstrated strong form on clay circuits this year. Etcheverry's recent successes include winning the Rio Open and a notable performance in Monte Carlo.
Following Barcelona, Draper intends to compete in a full clay-court schedule, including Madrid, Rome, and the French Open. He noted that he has no ranking points to defend in Barcelona this year, presenting an opportunity to improve his standing and potentially reclaim the British No. 1 position from Cameron Norrie.
