was speaking ahead of his appearance at the 2026 Miami Open, where he will look to build on his strong showing in Indian Wells.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/jack-draper\">Draper<\/a> made his comeback after almost six months out with a bone injury by beating Viktor Durasovic in Great Britain\u2019s Davis Cup tie with Norway at the start of February.<\/p>\n<p>The 24-year-old then reached the second round at the Dubai Championships before his run to the quarter-finals in Indian Wells.<\/p>\n<p>The former world No 4 fell to 26th in the ATP Rankings this week after dropping points from winning Indian Wells last year.<\/p>\n<p>In a pre-tournament interview in Miami, Draper was asked about Alexander Zverev, Daniil Medvedev and other players adopting a more aggressive approach.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell look, I think they know with what Alcaraz and Sinner are doing, and the way they\u2019ve been playing at the top of the game for a while now \u2014 there comes a point where you have to change and you have no choice,\u201d said Draper.<\/p>\n<h2>ATP Tour News<\/h2>\n<p><a

That\u2019s what I\u2019d say.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo I think it\u2019s really good that players are making changes; it shows that there\u2019s hunger out there to want to improve and there\u2019s going to be a lot of competition at the top of the game.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Asked about his hunger to perform in Miami, Draper said:\u00a0\u201cDefinitely, it\u2019s a huge event. I\u2019ve been watching Miami since I was a boy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve never quite performed the way I\u2019ve wanted to here, so it\u2019s been a tournament that I\u2019ve wanted to come back to and give my all. Hopefully, do better than the previous years and let\u2019s see where I go.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Draper will face either Reilly Opelka or Nuno Borges in his opening match in Miami.<\/p>\n<p><strong>READ NEXT: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-features\/miami-open-withdrawal-list-world-no-5-joins-djokovic-raducanu-absences-pile-up\">Miami Open withdrawal list: World No 5 joins Djokovic &amp; Raducanu as absences pile up<\/a><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Miami Open: Jack Draper makes telling claim about Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner\u2019s impact\u00a0 Ewan West 19 Mar 2026 7:00 PM Jack Draper with Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner inset Jack Draper has explained how he feels Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner are forcing other ATP players to make changes to their game styles.
