British tennis player Jack Draper has captured attention with his impressive skills and striking presence both on and off the court.
At just 23 years old, Draper made headlines during the 2024 US Open, where he reached his first major semifinal, marking a significant milestone in his career.
His ascent in the sport has been meteoric; by June, he achieved a career-high ranking of No. 4 globally, solidifying his status as one of tennis's most talked-about athletes.
Beyond his athletic achievements, Draper’s good looks have garnered him a diverse fan base. He signed with IMG Models at 18, well before he transitioned into professional tennis.
Reflecting on his modeling experience, Draper remarked, “I had just turned pro, and I didn’t really know what it was all about,” in an interview with Vogue. “The photos I did back then, I didn’t realize they’d still be out there.”
Recently, he has taken on the role of ambassador for Burberry and switched from Nike to Vuori for his athletic wear.
Draper’s journey in the fashion world has been enlightening. “I quite enjoy being in front of the camera,” he shared with British Vogue, “If I’m looking good, that is.”
Despite his growing public persona, Draper remains focused on his tennis career. “It’s been a real journey to understand what I need to do to keep on improving as a player and as a person,” he stated in April.
His physical transformation has not gone unnoticed by fans and fellow players alike. “I have worked incredibly hard to improve my physicality on the court,” Draper explained at the 2025 US Open. “Part of it is my genetics and growing into a bit more of a man’s body.”
He expressed newfound enthusiasm for gym workouts, saying, “Before I didn’t really want to push myself. But I feel great in myself now.”
At the 2025 French Open, Alexander Bublik praised Draper’s physique, jokingly asking if he was preparing for UFC fights.
When asked about having dinner with three people, Draper’s choices sparked mixed reactions. He mentioned Donald Trump and Conor McGregor as fascinating figures, adding comedian Jimmy Carr to lighten the mood.
Currently, Draper is not in a relationship. He recently discussed the challenges of dating while maintaining a demanding schedule. “I’m always on the road,” he noted in an interview with Tatler. “It’s tough to sustain any form of relationship.”
