Poor serving. Jack played some awesome points, and Carlos ended up trying for too much. He got a few aces, but more often than not had to serve 2nd serves. JCF is a steadying influence and helps keeping Carlos from going there.

Wonderful win for Jack Draper

I just tuned in when Jack was serving for the match, Jack continues to shine on the grass and no let down since winning his first ATP title last week

 

[nehmeth]

Draper’s mother, grandfather and school chums are all there at Queens Club. Big happy kid.

I have also posted this on the ATP ranking thread.
Novak Djokovic back to No 2 on Monday as Alcaraz drops 450 points from the 2023 Queens title on Monday
If Djokovic ( New No 2 ) decides to play Wimbledon, he will be the 2nd seed, with Jannik Sinner the top seed

For those of you who don’t like going to the matches because of the spectators. This was me trying to watch the Draper v Alcaraz match. Maybe you can see my eye?

For the love of tennis Jannik you dont have to do rolls on the grass again to make a point, Wimby is 2 weeks away and you have to watch those skinny legs
Though in saying that his quick coverage to the net has improved out of sight and his volleying too has improved.
Jannik leads 4-1 3rd set

I would think he would be worried about the hip.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

I would think he would be worried about the hip.

he did the same in his first match as well btw, with the roll on grass trying to get to a ball, also the grass is still very slippery with a couple of players with injuries already, he does have to watch it

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

In Halle,
Good straight sets win from Struff over the No 6 seed Tsitsipas 64 64
No BPs faced, 11 points lost on serve. 22W 5 UFE
Struff will play Sinner next.

Eastbourne Update:
OUT: Draper ( good decision)
IN: Seyboth Wild

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Carlos Alcaraz not a fan of the new serve clock rules being tested at Queen's. Felt like he was being rushed on court and affecting his pre-serve routine.Will feedback to the ATP

Fun Fact:

Jack Draper is apparently a part time model and has done a photo shoot for Vogue recently
