Can you also do a video about the AO you’re predictions like winner and darkhorses etc (men and women). Good video btw, jack has huge potential I hope his body stays healthy in his career.
Could you maybe do a video on Hurkacz? His current form isnt even close to his form last year, well idk, his game style just seems off lately, I dont mean his serve but rather his ball stricking in general
The body is still an uncertain factor if it will hold up. Also should be able to put away players like De Minaur who beat him when De Minaur was coming back from injury recently.
Can you make a video about Emil Ruusuvuori sometime? I remember him beating players as Alcaraz, Zverev, Rublev and more. But now he's just gone. I think it would make an interesting topic to talk about.
I have today read that Jack wasn't the only one to have to cope with jealousy from other players when he was growing up. Andy Murray as well. Wishing Jack good luck for 2025. Poor Jacob Fearnley having to face Nick Kyrigos in the first round of the Australian Open. Wishing Jacob good luck too!
Could you make a video about Shelton again? He makes pretty good results at slams (especially the 2023 us open) and I want to know if you think he could ever win a slam? Be the top American? Beat Fritz to the 1st Slam for Americans? Make it into the top 5-10? Or even possibly number 1? He has so much potential especially with his serve. I want to know what you think.
I don’t think that Shelton could be a top 5 player. I just don’t see enough tools or extended shot quality in anything but the serve, and even the serve isn’t quite as consistent as I had hoped. He hasn’t had any major tournament wins since his US open in 2023, and since then he’s been struggling to go deep in any big tournaments. If I’m remembering any of this incorrectly please correct me, and I hope he can rise to the top ranks, but right now I don’t see it happening
@ he made some pretty good runs in some tournaments at the end of the year. I don’t think 2025 is his year to win a slam but he’s only 22 and hopefully by the us open he’s worked on some of the weaker parts of his game, like the consistency in the serve.
By far the worst part of Shelton's game is return which is god awful and showed no signs of improving in 2024. He's still at the bottom of the Top 50 on return stats, just like in previous years. There is no way he can be a Top 10 player with that. Return is the hardest thing to improve in tennis and most (90%) never do make an improvement from 20 y o level.
I was watching one of my friends in Juniors around 2017 and he almost got double bageled by Draper - have been following and supporting him since. That growth spurt he had was always going to be tough to play through, he takes S&C seriously and now he's filled out hus frame I am confident he can continue with less injuries. He also seems to have some of the worst draw luck on tour which hasn't helped his tournament runs and ranking progression
This is a good tennis channel. The host really goes into detail. The US OPEN loss to Sinner is understandable Jack got nervous and vomited. He will learn from that experience he just needs play big matches and hopefully nerves calm down a bit. The host points out a lot of stuff like Draper improving his serve, backhand. I hope Jack can stay fit that's his main issue for him. I disagree about Jack movement I think he actually moves well for a man 6 foot 4. At the US OPEN Jack movement impressed me a lot. I think his issue is the fitness. I hear he has a hip problem and that's a concern. I don't understand why Jack doesn't train in hotter climates to acclimate himself to the heat? Training in the UK in northern Europe makes no sense. Even Andy Murray trained in hotter climates.
Huge talent, but lingering doubts over his fitness and not 100% on his character after the FAA match point. Let's see what happens this year before we crown him the next big thing...
@@missrockafella9432wrong. Draper knew he hit it into the court, im a high level club player and even I can feel when I shank it badly. Just straight up bad sportsmanship from Draper
@@Im_marcel. The final decision was the umpire's. It is not as though Draper walked off court without arguing the whole matter with the umpire. Draper was put in an impossible situation.
If he just concentrates on what's going on the tennis court, telling everyone about yet another 'injury' and stops worrying about how he looks on the catwalk and in the mirror, he could win be a GS champ...
My impression is that he lacks the proper motivation to truly get to the top. I think he would have to go full Djokovic level of commitment to diet, training and lifestyle to be a consistent top 10 player. He’s already a great player, a model and rich so personally, I don’t blame him in the slightest for wanting to maybe enjoy 5 minutes of his life..lol. Nonetheless, I have to say that I don’t see him in the top echelon. But I hope I’m wrong. 😊
He might be a great player but unfortunately, when I hear his name the first thing that comes to mind was that decisive point against Felix Auger-Aliassim... The same way when I hear David Nalbandian I remember him kicking the line judge... The fact that he was the only player to ever win Federer, Djockovic and Nadal in the same tournament (Madrid 2007) comes in second.
The situation against Felix - Draper was put in an in a very difficult position by the umpire who should have allowed the point to be replayed (and indeed this is what Draper wanted). Also I have read elsewhere that Felix has a habit of being quick to accuse others of wrong doing (Draper is not the first victim).
@@missrockafella9432 mate I honestly love Draper but that situation wasn’t Felix’s fault at all. He knew, and decided to not be fair. Good thing from this is that he learnt an INCREDIBLY valuable lesson in sportsmanship, and I have no doubt he’ll be a much more honest player in the future.
@@dyk43 The umpire was to blame. Just the other day I saw elsewhere this umpire's decision called crazy. And it IS the umpire who has the final say and NOT the player.
Nalbandian was a fine player that line judge at Queens was an anti Argentina old creep who exaggerated his ankle pain SUCH PLAYACTING! DUH! worst line judge ever! 😂
There is a lot you can criticise the British press for...but talking negatively about American players out of "jealousy" is not one of them. Link me an article that shows this. And can you blame the British press for hyping up Emma and Jack? Is that not what every country does for their players? All countries do this -- and some much more than Great Britain (I'm thinking of France, the US and pretty much all of South America). What does Britain have to be jealous or desperate about? We have a strong and historic history of tennis in this country and it is where the game developed. We don't need to be jealous of anybody, and it is not the British way, either. Seems like you're the jealous one. Perhaps because Jack has more of a chance to win a Slam than the American no. 1 Fritz?
Bro. US hasn't won a slam since 2003 with Roddick. Why would Britain be jealous. Yes the US have a number of strong players in the top 20, but other than maybe Fritz (maybe) i don't see any of them winning a slam. They simply aren't young or strong enough to rival Sinner and Alcaraz. While yes, I think Draper has a little way to go before he poses a real threat, he has potential.
He seems like a good player and will probably have a good career. But is it just me, or does he just seem unlikable for some reason...? Like spoilt rich kid vibes

I'll be covering this in the newsletter next week!

People never really talk about just how good Andy Murray was on Clay.
Especially for someone who didn't grow up on the surface.
I’m more interested in your take on Mpetshi Perricard. Bro has a wicked serve and insane touch
He's dominating at Brisbane as well! I am keeping an eye out for him
So happy you have done this - thank you 🙏🏽
No problem 😊
What was missed here, in regards to his fitness, was he had a very late and huge growth spurt. At 15 / 16, he was 5' 8. He's now 6'4!
And his brother is 6'5!
Apparently quite common for young men to have a growth spurt after the age of 16. Have read this.

Lol my lysdexia read the thumbnail as "How is Jack Draper Good?"
Always soooo happy when you put out new content!!! 🎉🎉🎉

I'll look into the idea some more!

He was going to Spain to do some warm weather training with Carlos Alcaraz last month but then his injury happened.
When are you posting the end of season recap?
today or tomorrow
i would like to see shapovalov and faa i need to know what's going on
WHERE IS FONSECA IN THIS CHANNEL
Mensik too
For real, seems like winning the Next Gen finals at age 18 deserves a video!
Where’s the Perricard video?!
That's a great question
Huge talent, but lingering doubts over his fitness and not 100% on his character after the FAA match point. Let's see what happens this year before we crown him the next big thing...
With the FAA match point drama Draper was put in an impossible position by the umpire who seemed not to be doing his job properly.
@@missrockafella9432wrong. Draper knew he hit it into the court, im a high level club player and even I can feel when I shank it badly. Just straight up bad sportsmanship from Draper

It’s a shame he’s got an injury ahead of Australia, a tournament in theory that would suit him well
Not surprising
Yes. He gave Rafael Nadal a real fright a couple of years ago.
If he just concentrates on what's going on the tennis court, telling everyone about yet another 'injury' and stops worrying about how he looks on the catwalk and in the mirror, he could win be a GS champ...
British Fritz

Tennis needs a new lefty superstar like Rafa. Jack Draper is the answer.
Hopefully!
@@Courtside_Tennis I am hopeful too for more sponsors and investors to support Jack Draper.
THE BRITISH PRESS HYPE UP BRITISH PLAYERS LIKE DRAPER AND EMMA R OUT OF DESPERATION. THEY TALK NEGATIVELY ABOUT AMERICAN PLAYERS OUT OF JEALOUSY.
