That, then, is us. Thanks all for your company – join us again tomorrow at 11am BST.
Draper says he really enjoyed it. He missed it last year, “And though you were hoping to see Andy, you were stuck with me instead.” He thanks the crowd, saying they really helped him – there were some nervy moments – and that he loves playing in front of loads of people.
“What an honour,” he says, of being British no 1 given those who’ve come before him. But name-checking Murray in particular, he says he’d not be here without him, “incredible guy off the court, so funny, so genuine, one of a kind, what a competitor, what a champion, thank you very much.” You’d take it!
Draper, I’m told, is also a really great lad, and he certainly comes across that way. I can’t wait to see how he and Norrie go when they meet on Thursday.
