Andy Murray is a true champion not only for winning the tournaments and the grand slams that he did but for defeating the Big Three in their primes. At a time when no other player thought of defeating Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer or Novak Djokovic. Murray showed his talent and defeat all of them.

Draper in a recent interview said, “For a young player like me, it’s good to have that kind of influence because at the end of the day, Andy is a champion. I’ve watched him a lot since I was young. I think he was in his prime when I was eight until I was 14. I watched him and I was able to learn from his game without knowing him.”

“Then obviously I had the chance to hit with Andy and get to know him for the latter part of his career. For a young player like me, it is good to have this kind of influence and to be surrounded on a daily basis. Because at the end of the day, Andy is a champion. It is good to understand his habits and the way he lives his life to become a top tennis player. It gives me a lot of confidence and I hope I can follow the same path.” He added
