In her latest Ski Ski Sports Column, Laura Robson talks about Jack Draper’s chance, why is a female tournament so open, and her daily routine as a director of the tournament at the new women’s event in the Queen Club …
During the last few months, Draper was led by a British challenge with the first Masters 1000 title on Indian wells, and then ends as a racer in Glina in Open Madrid.
He got the farthest on the French, before he lost in the fourth round of inspired Alexander Beef.
Still, he received the first Roland-Garros under his belt, like Jacob Fearnley, Katie Boulter and Sonai Cameron, while Cameron Norrie enjoyed the third round after heavy 18 months, while Emma Radukan was unhappy in the second round.
It was all a great improvement in last year’s first district in Paris, but now attention is converted into the grass and the beginning of the third Grand Stram of the year at the All-England Club.
“I don’t know who is a favorite of the Wimbledon’s event. I would probably say in the past, but for Coco (Gauff), it was an area that did not really give the results from her office in Queen’s club in Queen’s Everthia.
“Although Gauff was three times a fourth round, it was not that it was established, so I would say that he leaves it quite open to some new faces enter.
“Our other seeds here this week is Madi (Madison) keys and I think it would happen last year that she would not withdraw in the fourth round on Vimbledon, so there was a chance of the burden of different people.”
Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner, the most important two players in the world, challenged his first finals Grand Slam on open French – And it was classic all the time, but home was hoping to rest very rest in British no. 1 draper.
Robson said, “Tim (Henman) and I found it at the end of the year at the end (Jonathan,” Oh, we thought, “Oh, we thought,” Oh, we were Thought! “.
“To have that to the sides of men, as well as Alcaraz and sinner – it’s pretty special. It’s nice to have British stories about the tournament even starting.”
Robson: My Queen’s experience
Robson was previously the director of Nottingham’s tournament opened in 2023. and 2024. years before it was placed in the same role in the new women’s event in Kueen’s Club in November.
And it was an eye opening experience for 31 years of former Junior Vimbledon champion.
“I’ve been here for a week, so I’m last Monday, I’d say it’s a fairly fast transition, because we were still in the building in the stage in which it was explained,” Robson explained in that point, “Robson explained.
“It was a hard work, but I really enjoy it, but until the end of that day, I could come to collecting the players, so it was very rewarded, even though our event manager and though our event manager is to do so.
“Just to sit where my office and that everyone gathered really satisfactory, working with different broadcasters and alike trying to create and alike trying to demand and alike trying to demand and equally They try to create things equally and equally try to create and try to create even equally try to create and make an alike try to make a request for all parties. “
Robson hopes to bring a new audience for a women’s tournament in which they hope in the British winner high.
“Everyone was really positive for good reason, because it was an event for world-class men, but now it is a world classmate event, so they are all the same for players and the public,” she said.
“There are a little more affordable ticket price, so we hope to see another audience in Queen here.
“We want people to come for the first time, and we had a really good number, and we walked down the previous reasons, seeing people for the first time, they saw that people were first seen. It was really to come into the first time people gave.
“I hope there is no rain and no injuries. You want the best tennis level, so fans have the best experience and return next year.”
