Jack Draper's comments after victory over Andy Murray say it all about Brit's legacy

Jack Draper was full of praise for Andy Murray after winning their first clash on the ATP Tour.

The 20-year-old defeated the tennis legend 7-6(6), 6-2 to book his spot in the last 16 of the Indian Wells Masters. And in an on-court interview with Amazon Prime Video, the world no. 56 felt "privileged" to have contested a match against the 35-year-old.

"I've looked up to Andy since I was so young,” he gushed. "I watched him win Wimbledon for the first time in 2013 and then I've had the opportunity to get to know him and practise with him often since 2019. He's a really special person, a great champion, great human being and I'm privileged to play against him on this court."
