Up and Coming Tennis Star in 2020: Jack Draper 

At only 18 years old, the future is looking bright for Englishman Jack Draper. Although currently only just ranked inside the ATP top 300, he is arguably the stand-out player of his generation. His development will be closely monitored by all British tennis fans, who are yearning for another hero to follow in the footsteps of Andy Murray.

Born in Sutton, London, Jack Draper comes from a tennis family. His father, Roger Draper, was an accomplished amateur player and served as the Lawn Tennis Association’s chief executive between 2006 and 2013. His mother was also heavily involved in the sport and was a tennis coach. In the early days of his career, Jack has already shown touches of class, and his all-court game is likely to gain plaudits as he progresses through tournaments in the future.

As a junior, Jack was thrust into the limelight with an incredibly impressive showing at his home tournament. He finished runner-up at the 2018 Wimbledon final, losing out to the talented Tseng Chun-Hsin 1-6, 7-6, 4-6, who entered the tournament as the top seed. Had he won, Jack would have become the first British boys champion since Stanley Matthews in 1962, but it wasn’t to be.

The final will live long in the memory, and it was competed in front of a sold-out Court One. As is customary for domestic stars, Draper received vociferous support throughout the match. Still, he made a costly 42 unforced errors and was punished by Tseng, who looked calm and assured throughout, sealing the victory with an emphatic ace.

Although he will undoubtedly be disappointed with his performance in the final, Draper can look back on the 2018 tournament and reflect on some incredible moments. Perhaps the most astonishing was his four-hour duel with Colombia’s Nicolas Mejia in the semi-final. To come through that match and emerge victoriously was a brilliant achievement and showed the depth of his character and resilience.

The following year, he was awarded a wildcard to the 2019 Wimbledon Men’s Championship, but he fell at the first hurdle, losing to accomplished Japanese player Yasutaka Uchiyama. There wasn’t any significant pressure on him for such a young man, and many were impressed with what they saw.

When you look at Draper, it’s hard not to think that he was born to be a tennis player. At 6ft 2in, he possesses a ferocious serve and an aggressive forehand and is a mean-tempered competitor, with many tennis bookmakers offering great odds for each of his matches. Sometimes his outbursts on the court have spilled over into tantrums, and he has been compared to a young Andy Murray, at least in that respect.

Since the age of three, he has been playing tennis when he used to go along to his local tennis club with his mother, who was a coach. While his mum was coaching, he would relentlessly hit tennis balls against a brick wall and keep coming back for more. His maturity into the bright young prospect that he is today says a lot about his hard work and perseverance, but he undoubtedly has a long way to go before he becomes a recognised household name.

In his most recent professional outing, Draper lost out at the qualifying stage of the Slovakian Open after being beaten by Frenchman Mathias Bourge. Although it’s far too early to predict just how successful Draper will be, he must stay focused and committed to his development. Former youth prospects in British tennis, such as Laura Robson, have faded away after promising starts to their career.

Although Robson has had a really tough time of things due to injury, her career has been disappointing since she burst on the scene. It’s vital that all young players who make a name for themselves at such a young age work on their consistency and try and get as much experience under their belt as they can.

Now that tennis has resumed after the shut-down enforced due to the coronavirus pandemic, Jack Draper will be hoping that he can start to fulfil his promise. If he qualifies to complete at his home tournament of Wimbledon next summer, he can be sure of vocal support from his fans. Given his early promise, it would be wise to keep an eye on his progress to see how his career develops.

What is the purpose of club membership?

Most members use the advisory to generate profits via bookmaker and/or exchange accounts. For someone staking £100 per match this has yielded thousands in profit even once the annual membership fee is deducted.

Will bookmakers limit my account(s)?

Most likely, yes. Club bets have a proven track record of value (+ EV) and bookmakers are likely to notice this. Short term you’ll be fine but longer term we suggest using betting exchanges or ‘winners welcome’ bookmakers or brokers. That’s why we always quote and record odds from Betfair Exchange for members as that illustrates profits for those who are limited.

How will it work after joining?

Your membership will be confirmed with a personal welcome email. You’ll get 12 months access from a single payment and there is no auto renewal – we’ll simply ask if you wish to continue after the year has elapsed. You should expect an average of two emails per week detailing the advised selection, match, tournament and odds. Simply login to your betting account and place a wager on the selected market. We only use standard match winner bets, often referred to as the moneyline, so coverage is extensive at virtually all betting portals. Have any questions? Please visit the contact us page. Average response time 24h.

Is club membership limited?

Yes, we allow a maximum of ten members to have an active annual membership at any one time. This is to preserve value and market liquidity. Essentially ensuring it’s practical to obtain the advised odds without them disappearing too quickly.

What bankroll is required?

We suggest £10,000 or more ideally although smaller can work. Most members choose to follow our advice of staking 1% per match. This means it automatically adjusts and scales as the total grows and compounds returns. In the above example; the member would have yielded over £3,000 profit but had to pay the membership fee leaving them with a net profit in excess of £2200. Some members have vastly exceeded this by staking higher amounts but please remember to have a long term focus and ensure capacity for successive losses.

What type of bets should I expect?

Always match winner bets covering men’s professional tennis. This includes ATP events, Challenger and Grand Slams. We specialise in high odds underdogs which have yielded the most considerable profits in extensive back testing. Selections with odds of 10/1 (11.00) are not uncommon. We deliver advisory emails at a consistent time with a minimum of six hours before the scheduled start time to ensure plenty of time to get bets placed.

Who is the club open to?

Everyone with a decent bankroll and a long term outlook. We have members from around the world betting in many different currencies and jurisdictions. Tennis Tips UK are based in the United Kingdom, hence the name, but the club is truly global.

How is profit tracked?

For transparency we operate a public spreadsheet. This shows all key metrics such as units profit, ROI, yield and strike rate. We even monitor the Avg Diff CO % for those statisticians amongst you. In a nutshell this measures the implied value by comparing the advised odds with the sharp closing line. 2% is deducted from all recorded profit figures to simulate exchange commission. Just to clarify bets are only added to the spreadsheet post result confirmation to retain exclusivity of access to paid club members.

For winning bets our team also publish profit reports which feature the original email sent to members for additional tracking and verification purposes. This also includes a rating for that specific prediction which gives an insight into how our strategy is optimised over time.

Who picks the bets for club members?

Tennis Tips UK have grown into a small team over the years. Founded way back in 2013 by an odds compiler at a leading EU bookmaker. Since then joined by a quant and business manager. Each one of us lives and breathes tennis but we like to let our results speak for themselves rather than make outlandish personal claims.

Why don’t you bet on your own picks if they are so good?

We do, frequently. The issue surrounds liquidity and limitations. Club members have access to a wide range of liquidity from global sportsbooks and exchanges. We, as individuals, are far more restricted. Typically though we still stake an average of £10k per week on our selections but unfortunately virtually every bookmaker has long since banned us. We should take it a compliment really as a limitation is an endorsement of the profitability of your bets from an often billion pound institution.

Is there a way to reduce the cost of membership?

The fee is set at a level which allows us to fill membership places. If you are a prospective first time club member enter the promo code ‘TTUK10’ during checkout to reduce the cost. Please note this is a one time discount and not available for returning members.
