Speaking to The Telegraph, Draper was asked about how he has fared since skyrocketing up the rankings and thus garnering far more attention.
And whilst he does claim to be relishing it, the 23-year-old has also said he’ll look to Murray for advice in that regard. He noted: ‘There’s a bit more noise around everything for me. I’ve always been aware that if I want to be a top player, what comes with that is more attention, good and bad. I’m ready for that. I’m adapting my life. Because I do believe that I can go right to the top.
‘I’ve got my whole circle prepared for that and I feel prepared for that as well, because I’ve gone through lots of adversity and ups and downs. At the same time, like Andy always said, I’m gonna have a lot of love from people. I’m gonna have a lot of the crowds behind me at Queen’s and Wimbledon, and that helps massively.
‘’I’ll definitely pick Andy’s brains here and there. I think it’s a difficult one, because everyone has different things that work for them. So Andy might say something to me, and I’ll be like, ‘That’s not gonna make me feel my best.’
‘I’m yet to speak to Andy around that stuff, but I definitely will, and I know he’s always there if I need him.’
