Meet US Open star Jack Draper's dad who is one of sport's most influential figures this century

05.09.2024 - 17:22 dailyrecord.co.uk

Jack Draper is making headlines with his impressive performances at the US Open - but there's another sporting heavyweight in the Draper family - Jack's father, Roger.

Young Draper has been causing a stir in New York, thanks to a series of outstanding performances that have secured him a spot in the US Open semi-final.

The 22-year-old triumphed over Alex de Minaur on Wednesday, setting up an exciting face-off with world No. 1 Jannik Sinner on Friday, as he aims for the final.

While Draper's achievements have made him the talk of the tennis world - he's the first British man to reach the last four in the competition since Andy Murray's win in the grand slam in 2012 - it seems his father has also played a significant role in UK sport.

"Has To Prove He Is Viv Richards": Ramiz Raja Sets Bold Target For Babar Azam After Test Snub

Former Pakistan cricketer and Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Ramiz Raja feels that star batter Babar Azam has yet to achieve his best in the Test format. Babar was rested for the last two Tests against England after his poor form. Pakistan won both the matches and secured the series 2-1, the first under Shan Masood's rein. In 55 Tests, Babar has scored 3,997 runs at an average of 43.92. However, he has not scored a Test half-century since 2022 and has seen a dip in form in a year where he was made captain and then left the post after Pakistan suffered a group-stage exit in this year's T20 World Cup in June.
