Jack Draper faced a tough loss against Jiri Lehecka at Queen's Club, ending his run in a 6-4, 4-6, 7-5 defeat. Despite his struggles, Draper showed resilience throughout the tournament, battling through illness and tough matches to reach the semi-finals. His emotions boiled over as he smashed his racket into an advertising screen in frustration.

Draper, who will still be among the top seeds at Wimbledon, expressed his disappointment at missing out on a title at a tournament he has always been motivated to compete in. He acknowledged his tendency to lose composure during intense matches, attributing it to his competitive nature.

On the other hand, Jiri Lehecka put on an impressive performance throughout the week, culminating in his victory over Draper. His powerful serve and forehand dominated the match, leading to his advancement to the final against Carlos Alcaraz.

Alcaraz, the French Open champion, continued his winning streak with a solid 6-4, 6-4 victory over Roberto Bautista Agut. Despite early struggles in the tournament, Alcaraz showcased his skills and adaptability on the grass court.

While Draper reflected on his missed opportunity, Alcaraz looks ahead to the final as he aims for his third consecutive title following wins at the Italian Open and Roland Garros.
