Missed opportunity for Draper, sadly. 

 

Hopefully he gets more adept at dealing with unorthodox lower ranked opposition, because if he wants that Slam he'll need that as a matter of necessity.

Always learning, lost 2 years to injury and made incredible progress, clay isnt his best surface either, but you can say he has had a fine time on the the stuff

Deecent enough.

 

But if he's to aspire to Murray level or higher (as opposed to Henman level which, to the credit of Draper, he's more or less already reached(, more learning and more consistency is clearly called for.

Absolutely.

 

That being said, the very best players have had pretty good streaks at Slams when even though the other guy was having the game of his life, they still found a way. TBH I think that's why Murray deserved to be mentioned in the same breath as Fed, Nadal and Djoko despite not winning nearly so many major tournaments - it most often, if not almost always, took one of them to eliminate him rather than a lower ranked player.
