Nadal vs Draper Prediction

Of course, Draper is capable of competing with Nadal. The British player possesses an excellent serve, which is enhanced by his groundstrokes. The Spaniard has recently lost a number of tight games, which has his supporters concerned that his killing instinct may have waned. But this has also happened in the past. Nadal frequently raises his level of play once he begins participating in the Majors, so despite his shaky current condition, he will soon get his bearings. Although the reigning champion should be able to hold out for the time being, Draper does have what it takes to pull off an upset in this match.
