Jack Draper's Quest For First ATP Title Ends In Adelaide Final Loss To Lehecka

Jack Draper fell short of securing his first ATP Tour title, losing to Jiri Lehecka in the Adelaide International final. Despite a strong start, Draper couldn’t maintain his momentum and ultimately lost 4-6, 6-4, 6-3.

Heading into the Australian Open, Draper acknowledged Lehecka’s superior performance and expressed hope for better results in future big finals. Draper’s potential in the game is evident, but concerns linger about his physical condition due to injuries that hindered his progress last season. 

In the doubles event, Joe Salisbury, Draper’s Davis Cup teammate, clinched the title with partner Rajeev Ram, narrowly defeating Rohan Bopanna and Matt Ebden.
