Barry Cowan BELIEVES Jack Draper Has The 'FIREPOWER' To Overcome The US Open QUARTER-FINALS! 🎾🔥

rapers never made it this far before in a major tournament and never jock of itches out as well. But despite that Liam Brody told talk sport it will be incredibly tough for Draper to go all the way. I think that's kind of the fortunate things sometimes if you take the spot of one of the top seeds it does soften the draw slightly but it also shows that he's capable of going as deep as the top players as well. Medvedev is a fast I love Jack to pieces. I want into win the whole thing but you know Medvedev has been crushing a few guys over the last few round and these are us open champion it will be a big ask but if he comes through that is going to be one of the favourites for the tournament joining us for more on this right now from a British tennis star Barry Cowan morning Barry good morning buddy how are you yeah very good I have to set up never form the sleep on commentary but I might have done if it was the is no who's seventy sixty eight match a few years I'll tell you what we look at Jack Rayburn you look at his is record against Alex and he's lost the three previous contest if I but I just want to know whether that's even relevant with the way that Draper is playing at the moment well I think the last match it kind of is a little relevant they played like a polka guys and that week actually Jack did brilliantly to reach the stage that he did buddy because he was under the weather he wasn't a hundred percent fit and in the any answer pull out for loving so tough conditions there and I could call that the heat and humidity has been tough in New York or those it's easing a little bit and that would be my fear the longer the match goes the more I would definitely favor do manure because physically how strong years he's so quick but I think Jack definitely has the higher power but you know what Liam Brody touched on and for me is very relevant it was very relevant last night with Vareb against Fritz and Vareb is the better player but when you got caught a final other grand slam you know both players are looking to reach a semi final for the first time it's Domino's fourth quarter fun often it can be more than who is the better tennis mate who handles a situation who can attack and I think for Jack let's hope he can just be fearless which he has been in ever since the first time I saw him play jocko it's on the center court when he threw everything jocko between that first set I think he's just going to embrace the challenge the pressures on Domino and maybe that that's where Jack can strike but if there are any similarities to the run that in 2021 and also what would you see of Jack's big strong left under what these mean qualities what these main strengths having great questions I'll deal let's deal with the first question first I think you know that there are big differences because Emma came through qualifying and so she just you know burst through the Yeah Jack is I think his progression actually has been great because it's being gradual it hasn't just been a rapid rise he's had to deal with quite a few issues in terms of he's played a lot of matches and mean for me that is the keys played a lot of tennis this year we've got those miles in the legs and you know just just gotta what was the second question the main strengths means strength well I he reminds me a lot of sorry the intern that will to win just that competitive spirit so whatever happens he just gonna keep fighting for every single point and I think he moves to someone who's totally moves well where Jack had been trying to change his game and I think I've really seen a big improvement in the last few weeks he played well and Cincinnati is it used to be essentially a Ryan there used to be someone who was a counter attacker because he actually believe it or not guys he wasn't very tall when he was so he just had to rely on just scrambling around the court but now I think he's adding that attacking parts with games serving voling being more aggressive he's not going in my opinion he is not going to be dominant or by trying to out rally and by playing for the back he's gonna have to take risks is going to has to play up the court you know not you can't hit them and are off the court in terms of power but you can't wait for things to happen when you talk Barry about some you know conditions there and stamina coming into play I just look Jack's not drop the set in this tournament so so theoretically he should be the fresher of the two shouldn't he yes he hasn't dropped the state but he hasn't played anyone with a caliber of domino I mean he has you know draw has opened up me you still got to be out of the who's in front of you but it has been kind to him I mean with Alcarized losing obviously that that that opened up Jack's draw so I think this is a big step up in class I mean it for me and now he be Alcarized at Queens did did Drake earlier in the summer but if he was to beat them and I was a top 10 player he's gonna go even higher than that after this week this would be Jack's best win of his career without shadowed it out because this is the first time he's been in this position now I think he talks great you only have to hear him in the very level headed he someone that is always respected people around him and in the great team and he's got it's gonna be fully prepared yeah really really looking forward to it and the way the draw has panned out it's a it's a funny old draw with Jocky Mitch and Alcarized losing it's but of opportunity knocks the bottom half is great to see two Americans they're great friends in Afo and Fritz but a do feel the top half is the strong they actually see the winner of Medvedev and Sina as being the one who actually will win the title at the end of the week we mentioned that their body looking at it and they know been part of the British sporting media myself I'm I'm allowed to get carried away like we all do and I'm looking at that draw and obviously you mentioned ever they've been sent out there were two left in the tournament I want to connect the major titles so you would hope like naturally thinking with some of the bigger names going out the fact of the question I'm asking you has he got chance to go in the full way and when it what if you're in the court of finals and you win tonight you absolutely have got a chance because I don't know if you remember but 2020 was the COVID year and Jocky Mitch got defaulted and then it was who could who could handle the pressure trying to win their first Grand Slam and it's very at the opportunity he served from Jocky but five four at it's six five and it got the better team won and team never won another title is actually retiring this year in very still hasn't won a Grand Slam so you've you've got that pressure I mean if if Jack I mean the scenario is sooner has done you know here's the world number one yep I've got an inkling for me to death I haven't with what's gone I'm with center of the court at hat as that the government I don't like me that they've met with their feet sooner at Wimbledon and obviously I always I'm always someone who will push towards people that I've done it before I think it counts for so much so no the fact that senator and the dev have that experience of major winners or be it meant for devs only one one you put it was the US open and it did be jocky so he knows how to play on the pressure I think Barry thanks very much
