  • Jack Draper's boyhood coach

    Jack Draper's boyhood coach
    Apr 7 2025

    Jack Draper has just won his first title at Masters level (Indian Wells) and moved into the ATP Top 10.

    It seems Jack was destined for greatness since he started playing the game - ably helped by childhood coach Justin Sherring. Justin recounts the moment that Jack decided he had to be home-schooled; why he stuck out like a sore thumb as a boy; the feeling of watching Jack strike gold in Tennis Paradise; and a hilarious massage story, which has to be heard to be believed!
