| Bio | He is a British professional tennis player. Draper has won five titles on the ATP Challenger Tour and seven on the ITF Tour. As a junior, Draper was the runner-up in his first and only Grand Slam final at the 2018 Wimbledon Championships, and he closed the year at a career-high junior ranking of No. 7. Draper was born in Sutton, London and brought up in nearby Ashtead. His father is Roger Draper, former chief executive of Sport England and the Lawn Tennis Association and his mother is Nicky Draper, a former junior British Tennis Champion. Draper attended Parkside School in Stoke d’Abernon, Cobham, from age four to eleven, whilst being coached by Justin Sherring. He then attended Reed's School, Cobham for two years. Draper reached his first and only junior Grand Slam final at the 2018 Wimbledon Championships, where he lost to Tseng Chun-hsin in three sets. He closed the year at a career-high junior ranking of No. 7. Plagued by injuries for most of his career, Draper made his ATP Tour main draw debut in singles as a wildcard at the 2021 Miami Open but had to retire after he collapsed on the court due to heat-related illness. At the 2021 Queen's Club Championships in London in June 2021, Draper secured the biggest win of his career to date with a victory over World No. 23, Jannik Sinner, as a wildcard. He defeated world No. 39 Alexander Bublik in the round of 16 to reach the quarterfinals of an ATP tournament for the first time in his career, where he lost to eventual finalist Cameron Norrie. By reaching this stage of the tournament, he became the youngest British ATP quarterfinalist since Andy Murray in 2006 and earned a top 250 debut in the ATP rankings. He received a wildcard into the singles main draw of the 2021 Wimbledon Championships, where he will face world No. 1 and defending champion Novak Djokovic in the first round, where he claimed the first set 6–4 before losing the next three sets to cede the match. In January, Draper entered the 2022 Città di Forlì II, an ATP Challenger Tour event, in Forlì, where he was the eighth seed. There, he reached his first Challenger final and won his first title on the tour after defeating compatriot Jay Clarke, 6–3, 6–0. Two weeks later, Draper continued his run of form at the Città di Forlì IV, where he was unseeded and reached his second final to claim his second Challenger title after defeating Tim van Rijthoven, 6–1, 6–2. The win led Draper to debut in the top 200 and reach a new career high of world No. 162. Draper secured his third consecutive Challenger title in his third Forlì tournament at Città di Forlì V the following week after saving four match points in the final to defeat Alexander Ritschard in three sets. At the Miami Open Draper clinched his first Masters 1000 match win over Gilles Simon as a wildcard. He lost in the second round to Norrie. Draper went on the next week to win his fourth Challenger title at Saint-Brieuc, defeating Zizou Bergs in the final. At the 2022 Mutua Madrid Open on his debut he defeated World No. 27 Lorenzo Sonego as a wildcard for his second win at the Masters level.

At the US Open he reached the third round of a Major for the first time in his career defeating sixth seed and world no. 8 Felix Auger-Aliassime in straight sets. Auger-Aliassime made 41 unforced errors compared to just 17 by Draper. On October 19, he qualified for the 2022 Next Generation ATP Finals, the first Briton to do so. On October 24 he reached his career-high singles ranking of World No. 45 having reached the top 50 two weeks earlier.

In the third round, he beat 2009 finalist, former world No. 1 and compatriot, Andy Murray, in straight sets. He was forced to retire from his fourth round match against top seed, world No. 2, and eventual champion, Carlos Alcaraz, due to an abdominal muscle injury. Draper withdrew from the Miami Open due to the fact that he did not want to make his abdominal injury any worse. He made his debut at the 2023 French Open but was forced to retire from his first round match against Tomás Martín Etcheverry due to a shoulder injury.
