Read our privacy policy British number one Jack Draper continued his upward trajectory by winning the Erste Bank Open to claim his maiden ATP 500 title. Draper’s notable recent achievements followed winning the Stuttgart Open – an ATP 250 event – in June. Draper was left lamenting the “brutal” nature of sport this time last year after dropping from 40 in the world to outside the top 100 following a series of physical problems. Aside from an abdominal issue, which caused him to pull out of last month’s ATP event in Tokyo and miss the Shanghai Masters, he has remained injury-free – and looked far fitter.
