British tennis star Jack Draper has been wowing fans both on and off the court since arriving onto the scene.
Draper, 23, had a career breakthrough at the 2024 US Open, making his first major semifinal.
Since then, he’s become one of the most popular and buzzed-about names in tennis, reaching a career-high ranking of No. 4 in the world in June.
While his tennis prowess is undeniable, Draper’s dashing good looks have also earned him plenty of fans away from the sport. Draper signed with IMG Models when he was 18 years old, before he even made the leap to professional tennis.

Jack Draper Is Embarrassed of His Early Modeling Photos
When the 6-foot-4 Draper signed with IMG Models as a teenager, he had no idea his portfolio would haunt him for years.
“I had just turned pro, and I didn’t really know what it was all about,” Draper told Vogue in April. “I mean, the photos I did back then, I didn’t realize they’d still be out there. I wasn’t thinking about the future. It was just cool to go into that world and have something on the side.”
Jack Draper Has Grown More Comfortable With Modeling
The tennis star has since been named an ambassador for Burberry and left Nike for athleisure brand Vuori earlier this month.
It’s all been part of a learning curve for Draper.
“I quite enjoy being in front of the camera,” Draper told British Vogue in June 2024. “If I’m looking good, that is.”
As his public image continues to grow, Draper insisted he won’t let it get in the way of his tennis.
“It’s been a real journey to understand what I need to do to keep on improving as a player, and as a person,” he told Vogue in April. “My preparation is always the same thing: rock up to the court, listen to my coach, and do all the right things to ensure I’m banking good days every day.”
Jack Draper Recently Transformed His Physique Into a ‘Man’s Body’
Tennis fans — and even some of the other players on tour — have noticed Draper’s physical transformation in recent months.
“I have worked incredibly hard to improve my physicality on the court,” Draper told reporters at the 2025 US Open. “I think part of it is my genetics and growing into a bit more of a man’s body. I think that took me a long time.”
Draper said he’s recently enjoyed “really improving” in the gym.
“Before I didn’t really want to push myself,” Draper explained. “I didn’t really want to feel strong almost. But I feel great in myself now and I understand the benefits it has on the match court and on these big stages, as well.”
At the 2025 French Open, fellow pro tennis player Alexander Bublik called Draper’s body “insane.”
Bublik, 28, told reporters, “I saw him first day here. I’m like, ‘Are you getting ready for UFC?’”

When Draper was asked if he could “have dinner with three people,” not all tennis fans were thrilled with his answer.
“There are a lot of controversial ones in there,” Draper told ATPTour.com in November 2022. “I’d probably say Donald Trump. Conor McGregor … I think Trump and McGregor are fascinating people. They obviously got to the pinnacle of what they’ve done. Very successful. I just think it would be a lot of fun.”
To round out his list, Draper listed comedian Jimmy Carr “to liven it up a bit.”
