Jack Draper pays touching tribute to mum after ‘shocker’ as he reaches Madrid Open final
Jack Draper shared a heartwarming tribute to his mum, Nicky, after she flew to Madrid to watch him face Lorenzo Musetti in the semis. The British No. 1 continued his statement run in the Spanish capital, winning 6-4 7-6(4) to reach the championship match.
Draper is now into his second Masters 1000 final in less than two months and has not dropped a set throughout the tournament. The fifth seed’s mum cheered him on from his box and, after the match, Draper lit up when asked about her support, admitting he had a “shocker” last time she watched him play.
