However, Murray's successor displayed many similarities to Murray's style of play, which would have been fitting as the Scot was supposed to play in the final match on Centre court before withdrawing in the morning. Just like Murray, there were some setbacks such as losing the first set after being in the lead, a disappointing loss in the fourth set when victory seemed near, self-criticism, shouts of encouragement, and ultimately a win over Elias Ymer with a final score of 3-6, 6-3, 6-3, 4-6, 6-3.

Draper openly relies on Murray for support, guidance, and advice as he navigates his early career in tennis. He will look to Murray for help in the future as well.
