The Big Jack Draper Interview

The Big Jack Draper Interview

Catherine, David and Matt are joined by the current British No.1 and Indian Wells champion Jack Draper for an exclusive, wide-ranging interview. Having been forced to shut down his season early due to an arm injury, Draper talks through some of the highs and lows of the year, updates us on his preparation for next season, and delves deep into the current scheduling issues on the ATP Tour.

Part one (00:00 - 29:59) - Jack tells us about the arm pain that blighted the second half of his 2025 season, and takes a deeper look at the way that injuries and his relationship with his body in general have shaped his career so far. There's also chat about what it's like to be part of the Alcaraz-Sinner generation, the way the word "pressure" is thrown around when it comes to Wimbledon, and how he is preparing for 2026.

Part two (30:00 - 1:09:40) - Having opened up a bit on social media recently about scheduling issues, Jack speaks to us in depth about the calendar, detailing the toll that the 12-day Masters are taking on the players. There's debate about revenue-sharing, exhibitions, the off-season, and what needs to change for tennis to protect its players better.

Part three (1:09:41 -1:43:50) - We get into the more light-hearted stuff with Jack including the experience of the US Open mixed doubles, his idolisation of Rafael Nadal, his relationship with Andy Murray, and The Traitors.
