I Played Against Jack Draper

Today I had the great opportunity to hit with Jack Draper. He is a year older than me, and is crushing it on his pro journey, having made it already into the worlds top 50 ! He is definitely one to look out for in the future. Hope you enjoy :)

Awesome stuff Felix!

[@hippo240]

Draper just made it to the semis of the US Open so this is crazy progress

[@vwmusicplaylist1935]

The pace and heaviness of the balls from Draper is crazy. Top 50 is whole different level!

[@albertomanzano1745]

And the stamina you have to had to consistenly hit those balls it's crazy.

[@devinyang3248]

Draper?! That’s insane man. Hopefully you get as good if not better than the top atp pros one day

[@AGAU1022]

Epic, man. This guy has beaten Tsitsipas & Felix AA this year, won a set recently against Carlos in a close match, has jumped more than 200 spots in the rankings in the last 12 months. Could definitely be top 10 or top 20 in 12 months' time. Next year will be very fierce. Would love to have heard some details about how this was arranged.

Hey Felix , im watching this video today, after jack draper got kicked of the us open 24 semi final from the world no1, insane that you met him, hope you can play like him soon 👍💪

[@woswasdenni1914]

good for jack draper having the chance to practice with the future number 1

[@rasplasdsg]

As Spanish I love Jack, he will be top 10 for sure, also GS and MC champion, maybe #1 but there will be a lot of competence with FAA, Alcaraz, Sinner and Rune. I hope injuries respect him during his career. Great content!

[@JhonnyAmbie]

This is just what you need. Very strong opponents like Draper will give you so much more to know what to improve. Very good content Felix!

[@nocapguy7380]

Wow! You actually got to hit with Draper, thats insane! You've improved so much since the start of this year, truly inspiring :D

[@tennisbrothers]

Appreciate it

[@Cameron-ue7lu]

That was cool and interesting. Playing someone at Drape's level really improves your own strokes. You started to relax as the consistency of the returns are super high with consistent pace and you started to work less., sweat less :)

[@kaicicl]

That’s insane that you got to play with Draper!! such a good experience and he is a player that I have loved to watch on tour! Thank you for the video :)

[@federicotown8052]

Draper such a talented player ! He has so much potential

[@mas5589]

The reason I love playing tennis is precisely that, to see a pro playing a near pro shows how much room to improve... and that for me is the challenge of a lifetime

[@mitchellrayner2110]

Yes bro, wow, Draper one of the best forehand’s on tour in terms of dropping late to hit the baseline, keep going gg

[@timh7246]

That musta been great fun for you! Glad you got to experience it & hope you guys became friends in the process. I subscribed to see what else you bring. Thanks for sharing.

[@Evolution_edits7137]

I expect more vids like this, Good work

[@bigrobsydney]

That would be such a great experience. Jack is a beast.

[@sergiomolina42]

I played against him when he was young at a tourney called Eddie Herr in florida He was quite young, so we were both 14 The Dude killed me in quarters or RO 16 I think it was like 6-1 6-1 I got destroyed and impressed with his forehand The guy has always been super solid

[@TennisCourtSIdeView]

Draper won itf's when he was 15 checkout londontennistube, those wins are on there.

[@usaskjock]

You could really see the clean hit and wicked pace off the bounce from his FH it was giving your FH fits

[@matttennis]

One thing I notice, Felix, is how much balance is takes to handle the pace of top players' balls. If you open up your shoulders or stance too widely, the ball will sail long, but if you're too tight and not loose and adding a lot of racquet head acceleration, then it's easy to hit balls into the net. Well done with this hit against Jack Draper!

[@tennisbrothers]

the way he hits the ball is crazy

[@holaruiz8522]

I've just seen that Draper faces Nadal at the Australian Open 1st round, good luck!

Amazing Felix. Really proud of you! Cheers! M

[@bitang2276]

Been waiting for this to happen. Hope you can have a match practice with Jack

[@Andy_Arkadata]

His older brother Ben was in my age group, and always played the same tournaments as me. I’d always see jack hang around at tournaments, he was younger and a lot smaller back then. Always surprises me when these younger players make it big because from my perspective it’s literally out of no where

[@latibes]

Jack was at Hazelwood for a while with Ryan Jones. I got a close up look at how good he was (playing on the next court to him). He is a very hard worker. His serve is a beast!!!

[@dominiclondesborough3222]

Fantastic video, you were timing the ball really well, Felix.

[@francoisgiannini6548]

[@darsh7164]

[@tennispennis7579]

Great to watch, you should have got a quick interview with him and asked him some burning questions.......so many people who are excellent tennis players but fail to make it big. Its a tough sport to make a living from....

[@federicotown8052]

What a great experience playing with Draper !

[@rosspattermann8952]

Clean hitting and easy power from both wings from Draper. He's only 20, and no longer needs to play qualifiers so the sky is the limit for the young man. Top 20-25 this year is my guess. Once he makes deeper pushes in tournaments he'll be playing top 50 players consistently, and that will reveal his level more than anything.

[@mrtennistoday]

Awesome video 🤯. Raducanu or Norrie next session? Would be two awesome videos back to back.

[@rootdoc1997]

Felix, you are correct when you say that it is hard for those watching to appreciate the pace and the heaviness players at this level hit with. I used to hit frequently with Rob Kendrick who was like 60 in the world. When players like this really turn it on, the amount of core and leg strength required to stay in a rally is insane. Nice video

If you look at it from the perspective that he was less than 2 games away from beating world number 1, I think he will be at that position one day. You played with a hell of a player

[@JT-zv1rx]

@@funnyduck4568 I’m not the one who said it though. I was just explaining the initial comment. I’d definitely take Rune, FAA, Carlos over him for the future, but he has the potencial to be a top-10 player imo

Hey Felix I think you should hit with Simon Freund as you guys are both KZbinrs and it would be a very interesting match.He also hits with big stars like Jannik Sinner who has been in the top ten.

[@coffeedude2024]

Wow that's awesome that you got to hit with Jack! Can you notice a big difference in the way Jack hits the ball compared to a futures player? I think Jack has a shot of finishing top 20 next year and maybe having a deepish run in a slam. I also think Jack will capture his first ATP title next year as well. I never thought he'd be a top 100/50 player but kudos to him, he's improved loads and has a real shot of being top 10 and maybe even getting a slam one day. Keep up the awesome content Felix:)!

If so, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE tell me it’s Andy Murray!! Also, I think Draper will end up closer towards top 15 by the end of 2023 season 👏🏼🙏🏼

[@nicksyb5920]

He could definitely reach top 20 if he can just avoid these niggling muscle injuries. He's had to pull out of a few tournaments, either halfway through matches or even missing whole tournaments, which is such a shame. Not sure if it's something you grow out of as you become battle hardened. But Jack has definitely got the temperament and the talent to go right to the top. Been watching him since he reached the Wimbledon junior finals at the age of 16 and he showed massive potential even then.

[@perfectchaos0078]
