Jack Draper: Three-time Wimbledon quarter-finalist Feliciano Lopez amazed by improvement from British No 1 | Tennis News

Feliciano Lopez, the quarter-finals of the Wimbledon Championship, says that the improvement of Jack Darbar over the past 18 months is “really amazing”-describing it as “a very complete player.”
DRIPRIBR was rising since he reached the semi -finals of the United States Open, where he closed the Masters 1000 title in Indian Wales, although he missed the title of the first tour of the ATP Court tour where he occupied Casper Ruud permanently absorbed in Madrid Open.
The British number 1 was placed at home in the United Kingdom after it The disappointing defeat in the fourth round of Alexander Poplek of Kazakhstan in the French Open – Before returning to the grass at Queens Club last week, where a tonsillitis was paid Amal in the semi -finals against Jerry Lika.
Lopez, the tournament manager in Madrid, saw Dreter’s potential directly, but he was concerned that Carlos Alaquers No. 1 world champion in the world, and they did not participate now in the last six titles in the Great Championships.
Derbar aims to join prominent players at the top of the men’s game, while Novak Djokovic is still chasing a historic title in the Grand Four Championships.
“I still see a little gap between Carlos, Janek and the rest of the players. Jack and Noveak are likely to be the ones who can overcome them and the grass is the surface for which Jack and Noveak will have a greater chance.”
“But the way they played recently, I don’t see any signs of weakness from Carlos or Janek.
“I think Jack is a very complete player. I think if he continues to develop his game, he will get a good chance against Carlos and Janek on the grass.
“Maybe he needs to be more consistently week after week. When he is able to reach his best level, I think he has already proven that he is able to overcome anyone. We have seen some of that in Indian Wales when he won the title, and also in Madrid, and he is in fact one of the players he liked to watch.
“The amount of improvement in the past 18 months is really amazing.
“I remember two years ago in the US Open, when he was preparing for the first round match. My anxiety was if he would return because he was returning from a shoulder injury and withdrew from Winston Salem Open in the previous week, so I was wondering whether he would be able to compete for the best terrible groups.
“Two years later, he is the fourth number in the world. It is really amazing what he did and he is the player who will be ready to fight with Carlos and Novak to get big titles on the grass.”
Is this the last opportunity for Djokovic to win the twenty -fifth Grand Salam championship?
Left Hander Lopez, who won the French Open Marital Open title alongside Mark Lopez in 2016: “It is difficult to say whether this was the last opportunity of Novak because with Novak, you should be aware of what you say about him,” the left laughed laughed, who won the French Open Marital title alongside Mark Lopez in 2016.
“It is not on the levels of Carlos and Janek, especially in the past eighteen months, because the numbers speak for themselves, but the way he played against the wrong is surprised.
“Djokovic has proven that he can still compete at this level, but it will have a better chance of grass.”
Does the sinner have the game to play on the grass?
Lopez said: “I think so, yes! His movement on the field outside this world. To play on the grass, you need a good movement and may be one of the best engines in court at the present time,” said Lopez.
“He has the movement, he has the service, and he has one of the best returns I saw, so yes! He has almost everything.”
Is it surprising to see the sinner and Alcaraz dominate what they are?
“No, not at all,” said the Davis Cup winner four times. “They have no only tennis skills, they are likely technically and physically in the world. But also their mentality and ability to maintain this level for a long time.
“We have seen it in the French open final when they were playing for five and a half hours as the highest density.
“There are players in the game now they can play a group or two, but Sinner and Alcaraz have the ability to play on that very high density for a long time and I haven’t seen anyone else he could do so.”
Does Drabert win Wimbledon?
Sky Sports Commentator Jonathan agrees to Lopez that Darbar is part of a group of elite players who could win Wimbledon, but he claims that he still has a long way to arrest the wrong, Alcaraz and Jokovic.
“Dripper is in that group of competitors who can win in Wimbledon. There are only players in the upper band – Sinner, Alcaraz – with the next band that contains Djokovic, along with Draper, Danyil Medvedev, Taylor Fritz and Lorenzo Mustuti.”
“Darbar is a competitor at all to win at Wimbledon. He is definitely a competitor to make the final.
“After I said that he will need little luck because he will have to overcome the caramels and two sides.
“It is interesting and it is possible that I said at the beginning of the year that Dripper could make Wimbledon final and nothing happened in the past six months to change my opinion.”
