The pace of tennis is relentless. Mere days after lifting the biggest title of his career, having fulfilled all his media obligations and photoshoots, and with scarcely time to digest the enormity of his achievement, Jack Draper is back on the hamster wheel of the tennis tour. More than 2,600 miles away from the scene of his latest and greatest triumph, which saw him propelled into the top 10, the Brit now has the chance to write his name in the history books with a rare “Sunshine Double”.
Only 11 players – seven men, four women – have won back-to-back Masters or WTA 1000 titles at Indian Wells, in the Californian desert, and in Miami. Sampras, Agassi, Federer, Djokovic (the latter four times)... Could Draper be next?
