Jack Draper comes clean on Italian Open outburst with ‘waking up angry’ admission
Jack Draper got candid after destroying his racket in a moment of frustration at the Italian Open. The world No. 5 already had a healthy lead over his opponent, qualifier Vit Kopriva, when he blew more break points and hurled his racket to the ground multiple times, receiving a code violation.
After sealing a 6-4 6-3 victory, Draper claimed his temper “boiled out a little too much”. But he explained that he couldn’t be perfect all the time, and made an honest admission about “waking up angry” and still having to play a match.
