Jack Draper has officially clinched the No. 4 seed at Wimbledon following a hard-fought victory over Brandon Nakashima in the quarterfinals of the Queen’s Club Championships. The British star battled through a tense three-set match, winning 6-4, 5-7, 6-4, and in doing so, ensured his rise to fourth in the world rankings.

This achievement marks a significant milestone in Draper’s career. Just a year ago, he entered Wimbledon ranked 40th. Now, with his semifinal berth at Queen’s, he leapfrogs both Novak Djokovic and Taylor Fritz in the rankings, securing a coveted top-four seeding. This position offers a strategic advantage, allowing him to avoid early matchups against top contenders like Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner until the semifinals.

Draper’s performance at Queen’s has been a showcase of resilience and power. Despite facing 11 break points against Nakashima, he was broken only once, relying on a booming serve that delivered 14 aces and a growing confidence that has defined his season. His next challenge will be against Czech player Jiri Lehecka, who has yet to drop a set in the tournament.

As Draper continues his campaign on home soil, the buzz around his Wimbledon prospects is growing louder. With the crowd firmly behind him and momentum on his side, he’s poised to make a deep run at the All England Club.
