Draper's Recent Form and Wimbledon Ambitions
Draper recently returned to action at the Eastbourne Open following a knee injury sustained at the Barcelona Open in April.
He secured his first ATP Tour victory in 102 days by defeating Marcos Giron in straight sets during the opening round.
Draper aims to progress in Eastbourne while prioritizing his physical fitness, as any discomfort could prompt a precautionary withdrawal to protect his primary goal of competing at Wimbledon.
The athlete seeks to improve upon his performance from 12 months ago in London, where he was eliminated in the second round by Marin Cilic.
During that previous encounter, Draper initially defeated Sebastian Baez via retirement before losing to Cilic in a four-set match on Court One.

The four-set defeat concluded with a scoreline of 4-6, 3-6, 6-1, 4-6, ending the run of the young British player who had previously won Indian Wells earlier that same year.
