Jack Draper defeated Brandon Nakashima 6-4, 5-7, 6-4 on 20 June to reach his first career semi-final at the Queen’s Club Championships. The victory lifted the 22-year-old Briton to a career-high world No. 4 and guaranteed he will be the fourth seed at Wimbledon, insulating him from a potential meeting with top contenders Jannik Sinner or Carlos Alcaraz until the semi-final stage. Opening his Wimbledon campaign on 1 July, Draper advanced to the second round after Argentina’s Sebastian Baez retired with an apparent injury while trailing 6-2, 6-2, 2-1. Draper, the British No. 1, said he is taking the tournament “one match at a time” despite heightened expectations created by his new ranking and favourable draw.
