Jack Draper has vowed to embrace being the new leader and figurehead of British tennis as he begins his Wimbledon campaign as a top contender for the championship.
Draper will face Sebastián Báez of Argentina in his first-round match on Tuesday, a long-awaited homecoming for the 23-year-old after enjoying a remarkable rise during the past year. Only a few years ago he sought out advice from Andy Murray and other top British players as he tried to understand how he could fulfil his enormous potential. The fourth seed is now the point of reference for all other British players and many have already asked him for his thoughts on their own journeys.
