BREAKING: Jack Draper sends brilliant message to Andy Murray about ‘stinky shoes’ after stirring US Open win
The 22-year-old beat Tomas Machac to book his slot in his first Grand Slam quarter-final
Jack Draper admitted he missed the ‘stinky shoes’ of Andy Murray after his sensational US Open victory over Tomas Machac on Monday.
The 22-year-old has made the quarter-finals of a Grand Slam for the first time in his career after a 6-3, 6-2, 6-1 win at the Louis Armstrong Stadium. Draper is a man on the up these days and is widely seen as the heir to Andy Murray’s throne.
And he paid tribute to his fellow Briton after his pulsating win while joking that he missed Murray’s ‘stinky shoes’.
“I obviously miss Andy, shout out to Andy, what an unbelievable career the guy’s had,” he said.
“An icon of the game. I miss him in the changing rooms, I miss being next to his stinky shoes and all his stinky clothes!
“But Andy is a legend and if I have half the career he’s had I’ll be a happy man.
“I’m looking forward to it.”
