You can find out all sorts of things on Google, but need to double-check that you're not looking at fake news. I try and do an advanced search if I am looking for something specific. Here's something from a different source.

"Roger Draper has a lovely wife named Nicky Roger. Nicky is a former athlete best known as a junior tennis champion. She is also a former coach at Parkside School, Cobham"

Presumably the Roger surname is actually Rogers first name - there are quite a few sites who source and sort information on people without any thought or value add!

GAMEOVER · Satellite level

Reported in the Daily Telegraph 23rd July that Jack is once again dealing with injury frustration after turning his ankle in training and may miss the US hard court tournaments.

Priesty · Challenger level

Oh no, not what we wanted to hear after a promising grass season cry

The Knight · Challenger qualifying

Jack has entered Barletta CH the week of US Open qualies, hopefully the ankle is feeling a bit better

Just reading from Mike Dickson that Jack recently split from his coach , Ryan Jones. Jack looks like he is entered in to Eckental, the big German indoor Challenger event, in a couple of weeks time.

Elegant Point · Satellite level

Jack Draper is in the December 2021 issue of Tatler The 200 Hottest Dates in Britain. Not sure the writer knew much of interest about Jack.

Wimbledon wild card Jack Draper is the son of sports businessman Roger Draper. Hes also a keen golfer. A towering 64 he often wears a chain (or two) around his neck.

Finished his season I believe playing a challenger in Bari , Italy won his first round then lost in the 2nd round . Went 4-3 a break up in set 1 but lost it 6-4 .

Unsure of what to expect at this point . I imagine thats his year over . I hope he has better luck with injuries etc next year . I still think he can do better . Hopefully he keeps playing Challengers next year and gets more consistent at that level . Maybe the odd futures too get some matches under his belt .

As Indy pointed out in the Bari thread - with all the issues around Aus Open entry requirements etc. there may be less people ahead of Jack for qualies than usual - his current ranking would leave him pretty close to entry anyway. I'd love to seem him give that a crack.

Also he is currently down to replace Kyle for England in battle of the brits in December.
