Jack Draper has jokingly said that he lacks the attributes to justify his nickname.
The 23-year-old, who also works as a model, is called 'Big D' by some tennis enthusiasts.
The British No.1 tennis player acknowledges that he doesn’t quite embody the 'Big D' persona given to him by fans.
In an old interview from 2023, when the 'Big D' nickname was first mentioned to him, he responded with humor: "Big D! It’s a shame because I don’t have one. Sorry!"
Draper has often received positive comments about his name over the years, noting its potential suitability for a James Bond character.
He recounted, "People often say, ‘Oh, I like your name Jack Draper.’ Many international fans also tell me, ‘I love your name, it’s amazing.’"
Draper recently secured his first ATP Masters 1000 title with a decisive victory over Holger Rune at Indian Wells.
After his quick win against the Danish player, he commented: "Winning here feels incredible. I’ve watched this tournament since childhood, seeing champions play on this court. Being a champion here means the world to me."
"This is definitely a major moment for me. Breaking into the top 10 and winning my first Masters title boosts my self-belief and confidence."
"I came into today knowing it was a final. I was a bit nervous beforehand, but once on the court, I felt fantastic. I felt in control and knew my game plan."
