Jack Draper ready to 'lean on' Andy Murray a lot after the Scot has called time on his career

The up-and-coming tennis player from Britain, Jack Draper, is prepared to seek support from Andy Murray once he ends his professional tennis journey.

Andy Murray, who was once the number one player in the world and is currently 37 years old, is nearing the end of a remarkable career. He recently announced that he probably won't continue playing beyond the summer.

Draper has already received guidance and support from Murray, but the young individual is now prepared to gain knowledge from the Scot's immense expertise.

According to Draper, accessing him will be less difficult once his work is completed.

When you're a tennis player, there's no time to focus on anything else but yourself. Your mind is always consumed with thoughts of self-improvement.

After he halts, I plan on reaching out to him frequently, inquiring about his perspectives on specific matters, querying if he has attempted anything and if it has been successful for him.

I am surely going to rely on Andy greatly, and I am confident that he will be willing to assist me as he has always been an incredibly supportive figure in my life.

I believe that once he halts his activities, he'll have a stronger desire to assist others because his attention will not be solely on his own affairs.

Draper, who reached a remarkable 35th position in the latest world rankings, has demonstrated his ability to compete at the highest level. He acknowledges his duty to carry on the legacy and continue to strive for excellence.

Draper stated that Andy has made significant contributions to British tennis as well as the sport in general. Draper also believes that Andy is one of the top players in history.

His legacy is going to be incredible and I believe it's my duty to continue on the path he has paved.

My goal in sports is to achieve a lot more than just winning. What I truly desire is to motivate kids to start playing and encourage others to pick up a racket. Tennis can be enjoyed by individuals from all walks of life, not just those who compete on Centre Court at Wimbledon. There are countless ways for people to benefit from the sport, and I want to showcase that.
