N O 1 COURT — British No 1 Jack Draper is still waiting for a deep run at a home grand slam after being stunned by Marin Cilic 6-4, 6-3, 1-6, 6-4. In the first Wimbledon since Andy Murray’s retirement, it was up to Draper to fill the void left by the great Scot, and having risen to world No 4, there were high hopes that he could.

Marin Cilic claimed his old rival Andy Murray should take credit for the strength of British tennis before he faces “incredible” Jack Draper at Wimbledon. The 2014 US Open champion played the former world No.1 in every Grand Slam with Murray winning their only match at Wimbledon in 2012.

Britain’s Jack Draper has expressed his desire to follow in the footsteps of his countryman Andy Murray at Wimbledon this year. The second Grand Slam of the year will begin on Monday in London.
