Wimbledon 2025: Draper ready to fill Murray's shoes as home hope
Jack Draper insists he can cope with the pressure of replacing Andy Murray as Britain's leading contender to win Wimbledon 2025. Murray ended the 77-year wait for a British winner of the Wimbledon men's singles title when he beat Novak Djokovic in the 2013 final. The Scot won Wimbledon again three years later during an iconic career that included three Grand Slam titles, two Olympic gold medals and a spell as world number one. Murray retired following the 2024 Paris Olympics, but British world number four Draper has already emerged as a worthy successor to the 38-year-old. READ | Djokovic feels Wimbledon is his best chance of winning record-breaking 25th Grand Slam Now, Draper knows he has to prove he can handle the expectations of the British sporting public at his home Grand Slam. 'Yeah, for sure. I think obviously when Andy retired, they said I was the next in line for that,' Draper told reporters at the All England Club on Saturday. 'Obviously Andy has done an unbelievable job. He's been incredibly successful and has become adored by the nation. It's obviously big shoes to fill. I'm aware of that. 'At the same time I'm confident in myself that hopefully I can inspire people like Andy has done. 'I'll keep trying to show my best tennis out there, to hopefully present myself as the player and the person I want to be.' Murray has been a useful resource for Draper since the 23-year-old burst onto the scene with a run to the US Open last 16 in 2023. And Draper won't be shy about asking Murray for advice on how to deal with the Wimbledon spotlight. Mentor Murray 'Obviously, Andy has given me an amazing amount of feedback and advice over the years. I think one of the biggest things is everyone is on their different journey,' Draper said. 'I know Andy's right there for me if I need him any time. There may come a point where I ask him a few things, and I'm sure he'll come back and be extremely helpful and supportive, as always.' Draper, who start his Wimbledon campaign against Argentina's Sebastian Baez on Tuesday, has never been past the second round in his three Wimbledon appearances. ALSO READ | Wimbledon 2025, men's draw This year's draw poses a host of threats to the Londoner's dreams of emulating Murray's Wimbledon success. Draper is scheduled to face former Wimbledon finalist Marin Cilic in the second round and Alexander Bublik, who beat him in the recent French Open, in the third round. The draw seeds Draper to meet seven-time Wimbledon winner Novak Djokovic in the last eight, world number Jannik Sinner in the semifinals and defending champion Carlos Alcaraz in the final. 'I haven't looked at that at all. I look at my first round. I respect every person in the draw,' he said. 'Obviously you guys have asked me a lot about the pressure and all that sort of stuff. I'm not thinking about that at all.' Draper's victory at Indian Wells in March was his first ATP Masters 1000 title, building on his maiden Grand Slam semifinal appearance at last year's US Open. After a rocky spell when he struggled to adapt to the gruelling demands of the ATP Tour, Draper now feels comfortable on and off the court. 'I think maturity, taking responsibility for my actions. When I was younger, it's tough. My friends went to university. I suppose they had an extended period of their childhood or their time to have fun,' he said. 'Sometimes you want to just take a break, but you can't in a sport like tennis. I would say that's the most challenging thing about being on the tour. 'For me it was a process and was definitely something I really struggled with at first. I suppose just growing up.'

Polo? People still play hockey on horses?
NOTHING GOOD CAN COME ABOUT WHEN HAN SOLO PLAYS POLO How many more people must die from the silly game of polo? India already has had three high-profile casualties. Jaipur's maharaja Man Singh II, who died on the polo field in Cirencester, Britain, in 1970, leaving his wife Gayatri Devi to live her life alone till she was 90. Jodhpur's Shivraj Singh, who went into a coma on a polo field at Rambagh in 2005 for some 11 months before slowly recovering. And its latest victim, industrialist Sunjay Kapur, who - and things don't get more macabre than this - reportedly swallowed a bee while playing polo at the Guards Polo Club at Windsor near London, leading to a heart attack. In 2022, the 71-yr-old Madhav Buchi Prakash, a polo star from Chennai, also suffered a heart attack during a chukker in Delhi. Why should the rich be allowed their own form of euthanasia de aristocrat, wrapped in horses and privilege? More importantly, why does (high) society still indulge a colonial residue of a sport- so what if its origins are said to be in the Persian 'chowgan' in ancient Iran - one that's deemed dangerous and seems to exist purely to preserve the aristocratic fantasy of danger being 'thrilling'? Animal rights groups have raised concerns over the treatment of polo horses. But the conversation never breaks through. Polo is a vanity sport that refuses to die. There's no real reason this so-called 'game of kings' and 'king of games' should not be the rest of the world moves forward, this 'elite' sport grows ever more outlandish. Britain's prince Harry Windsor's streaming docuseries, Polo, can be barely registered - it's just a blur of highly dull, buffed-up men bronzed and chapsticked beyond distinction. The cult terminology of 'chukkers' (pronounced 'chukka'), the hat parades in Europe, and the chiffon-and-pearls set at Indian grounds, are about as thrilling as the game itself, where one's never sure who's performing: horse or sport is not just absurd to watch, but it's also so cumbersome-horses needing to be bought and transported. So cumbersome, in fact, that the Olympics discarded it. Now, professional polo hangs suspended in a bubble of its odd, pointless game of man and horse, ball and stick, might have made sense in the Middle Ages - when horses were always hanging around for carriage duty, and there were enough royal spares and coteries to risk putting on their back without much consequence. Polo is exactly the kind of pastime that would be invented so the spare (human) could be given a function, ideally far from matters of state - or, in the event of a vacancy, prove he could fill shoes without tripping over men, or so the mythology goes, start to resemble their steeds. I know of a former polo player whose face has grown more equine as his hairline recedes. The closeness of man and beast is almost mythic. And who would want to encourage a breed of men for whom you have to compete with horses for company. The term for those afflicted with this syndrome is 'polo widows' - women, left alone for a long time while their men pursue (or, more correctly, pursue on) horses. And no one seems to bat an eyelid that this term applies to wives and partners left behind by 'polo martyrs'. It seems to be so noble for men to go off to get maimed or die playing a sport that no one (read: ordinary folk) the only game where amateur players can ride a horse and compete with professional players, simply because the former own a team. And what sort of rules does this game follow anyway? A 50-plus man playing a high-speed ball game while mounted is a disaster waiting to happen. Are there no age limits? No athletic thresholds? Or are we still pretending that money and lineage can override basic biology? Money can get you seven horses, a saddle stitched in Argentina, and a team of grooms. But really, to what end?
