Draper 7-5 6-4 Pinnington Jones<\/p>\n
Jack Draper speaking on court after his win over Jack Pinnington Jones: “Jack’s a great friend, so it’s tough playing against a friend. He’s still young and he’s been building his way up the rankings.<\/p>\n
“I believe he’s going to be a top, top player and I think he showed that today. It’s really tough to play against him.<\/p>\n
“My confidence levels were below the floor a couple of weeks ago, I hadn’t played in a long time, I wasn’t match fit, so to come here and be competing and playing at a high level very quickly I’m very grateful.<\/p>\n
“I’ve spent a lot of time off court with injury, I was on a great trajectory last year being at a career high ranking of four and my body stopped me in my tracks. I wasn’t able to play and the last year has been really difficult.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"‘My confidence levels were on the floor’published at 18:52 BST 18:52 BST Draper 7-5 6-4 Pinnington Jones Jack…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":723751,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[72],"tags":[99,428],"class_list":["post-723750","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tennis","tag-sports","tag-tennis"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/723750","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=723750"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/723750\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/723751"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=723750"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=723750"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=723750"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
