Former British tennis star Andrew Castle believes that Jack Draper<\/a> can upset Carlos Alcaraz<\/a> at Wimbledon<\/a> this summer.<\/p>\n

Alcaraz is the hottest ticket in tennis after his blockbuster win over world No. 1 Jannik Sinner<\/a> in the French Open final on Sunday, and the Spaniard will be hoping to make it three titles in a row at SW19 next month.<\/p>\n

Draper was knocked out by Alexander Bublik in the fourth round at Roland-Garros but he made up another place in the ATP rankings, which leaves him a career-high No. 4.<\/p>\n

And Castle thinks he has the momentum to go all the way at the All England Club.<\/p>\n

“He’s had a great year,” the 61-year-old told BBC Radio 5 Live<\/a>. “Jack can win Wimbledon<\/a> this year. You can’t possibly get to four in the world and not consider yourself, in front of home fans, a possibility.<\/p>\n

“Don’t forget he beat Alcaraz at Queen’s last year. Of course Carlos had been in Ibiza for four days partying like a wild animal, but so what? He’s beaten him and he’s capable of winning Wimbledon<\/a>, for sure.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Former British tennis star Andrew Castle believes that Jack Draper can upset Carlos Alcaraz at Wimbledon this summer.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":170037,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[45437,6359,5066,59517,4718,64045,79,1068,31635,5838,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-170036","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sports","8":"tag-alcaraz","9":"tag-carlos-alcaraz","10":"tag-french-open","11":"tag-french-open-news","12":"tag-jannik-sinner","13":"tag-sinner","14":"tag-sports","15":"tag-tennis","16":"tag-tennis-section","17":"tag-tennis-news","18":"tag-uk","19":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114653009372203175","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/170036","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=170036"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/170036\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/170037"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=170036"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=170036"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=170036"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
