Sky Sports tennis Analysts Tim Henman and Laura Robson called on Jack Draper not to be so hard to himself, after a 23-year-old cut a frustrated figure after his defeat in the Italian open quarterfinals.
British no. 1 Draper suffered a direct defeat to Carlos Alcaraz while his running at the Italian Open ended – the latter saved six of the eight breaks he faced to advance until the last four in Rome.
Speaking Sky Sports tennis After my defeat, Draper said, “Carlos was tactically and emotionally from me. Today I sit here very frustrated with my matches. I could tactically change a few things better and I think I was emotionally too negative.

“Much is the tennis playing, but top players pull it out of you, and Carlos was a better player and deserved to win.
“I still think that there are some things that can be exposed to a top player like today, certain things can be exposed. My return, for example, you have to have a little more height on Glina. I don’t think I did a great job today.
“And especially in the matches I’ve lost so far, they have been able to find my backhand a little. I have to continue working to be more physically and understandable how to be more effective in the sense that I get to their backhand. It’s a little more chess game on Glina and I still learn.”
Speaking in response to an interview, Robson said, “Listening to it, you almost feel like he got off the back too sharply. A few weeks he had and still think about a point on a point that he could do otherwise.

“At that moment, I don’t think he would have time to talk to James Trotman as a coach. The fact that he was already thinking about what went wrong, which could do better. I mean, that’s a good thing in many ways, but you just mentally wonder, it has to take it out and get out of you so firm day a day.
“Also, when it comes to such a tactics and there was obviously frustration, but when you are not physically fresh enough to play the way you want to play, I think it is sometimes super frustrating.
“At a time that felt like it just went through in Jack’s game where he knew what you should do, but can your feet actually stick to you can do it? And after so much tennis, understandably, energy levels were not there sometimes, but that’s normal. That’s okay. And he’ll learn from her and do better next time.”

Drapes frustrations improve it against Alcaraze in Rome
Henman agreed, adding to the Drapeer team, he had to gather around him to defeat a belief and context.
“It is very important here that the team around you, led by James Trotman, is just able to take a step back and say,” Let’s not forget that you played the French Open champion, probably the most natural player of the clay player in the game right now. You were 4-2 in the first set and you frustrated. “
“You have to be able to think about traveling, the improvement he has made, not only in the clay court season, but this year as a whole.
“He is a completely different animal (on Glina now than last year), which is what is very, very exciting because he is still learning. He is so inexperienced on Clay.
Henman added that the Drape’s team should have reminded that he had suffered defeat against the ruling French Open in Alcarasra
“We have seen his game so well adapted to Glina. It is important that he fill the battery so that he was freshly going to Roland Garros.
“He learns to manage it in all areas of his life. In New York we have seen emotion, anxiety of vomiting, and has reached huge steps there.
“Faced with the demands of the tour, the schedule when you travel and play the day in the day, because you win in matches, you have to be sure you do not waste your physical and emotional energy so you can play against the best players in the world. This is what is very exciting but also important for thinking, he just begins.
“This time last year he was injured, his body fell apart and there were big questionnaires. Now we’re talking about a player who is in the first five worlds, he won the Masters 1000 and enters Roland Garros not a favorite but one of the favorites. That’s exciting.”
