Sky Sports Tennis pundit Laura Robson thinks that Jack Draper<\/a> is being “too harsh” on himself following defeat to Carlos Alcaraz<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The British No. 1 was beaten 6-4, 6-4 in the Italian Open quarter-finals and could be spotted being visibly frustrated throughout the contest.<\/p>\n

“Listening to that [Draper’s comments], you almost feel like he’s too harsh coming off the back of that,\u201d Robson said. \u201cOff an amazing few weeks he’s had and still thinking about point by point what he could have done differently.<\/p>\n

“At that point, I don’t think he would have had time to speak to James Trotman as coach. The fact he’s already thinking about exactly what went wrong, what he could do better.<\/p>\n

“I mean, it’s a good thing in many ways, but you just wonder mentally, that’s got to take it out of you as well to be that tough on yourself day to day.<\/p>\n

“Also, when he’s speaking about tactics like that, and obviously there was some frustration, but when you’re physically not fresh enough to be able to play the way you want to play, I think that’s sometimes is super frustrating.<\/p>\n

“At times that felt like it was just creeping through in Jack’s game where he knows what he should do, but can your legs actually hold up to be able to do it?<\/p>\n

“And after this much tennis, understandably, the energy levels weren’t there at times, but that’s normal. That’s okay, and he’ll learn from it and do better next time.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sky Sports Tennis pundit Laura Robson thinks that Jack Draper is being “too harsh” on himself following defeat…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":103243,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4105],"tags":[26344,6740,25564,47602,4718,14647,79,1068,31635,47601,5838,23861,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-103242","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tennis","8":"tag-casper-ruud","9":"tag-coco-gauff","10":"tag-italian-open","11":"tag-italian-open-tennis","12":"tag-jannik-sinner","13":"tag-jasmine-paolini","14":"tag-sports","15":"tag-tennis","16":"tag-tennis-section","17":"tag-tennis-live","18":"tag-tennis-news","19":"tag-tommy-paul","20":"tag-uk","21":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/103242","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=103242"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/103242\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/103243"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=103242"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=103242"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=103242"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
