Jack Draper has spoken of his pride at becoming the new British No 1, adding that 'I knew my time was going to come' when reflecting on winning his first career ATP Tour title. Draper battled back to beat Italy's Matteo Berrettini 3-6 7-6 6-4 in the final of the Stuttgart Open on Sunday, seeing him move up to 31st in the world rankings and leapfrog Cameron Norrie as Britain's top men's tennis player.
' Draper: My goal is to be one of the best in the worldDraper's victory in Stuttgart means he's set to be seeded for the men's singles draw at Wimbledon next month, a far cry from the position he found himself in a year ago when a shoulder problem ruled him out of the grass-court season. As he continues his preparations for his SW19 return, Draper plays Argentinian Mariano Navone in the first round at Queen's Club on Tuesday.
