My abiding memory of the anticlimactic early elimination of Jack Draper will not be Marin Cilic launching thunderous forehands and gigantic aces from his 6ft 6in frame.

Jack Draper crashed out of Wimbledon to the world No83 Marin Cilic as he was beaten in a four-set thriller on Court No1, 6-4 6-3 1-6 6-4. Draper had worked his way up the rankings to No4 in the world and had a decent draw, so plenty had tipped him to go far in the tournament.

Former British No.1 John Lloyd has praised the “honesty” of Jack Draper - and insisted he will return to Wimbledon as a contender next year. “He is the real deal,” said the BBC analyst.
