JACK Draper believes he has plenty of room for improvement in pursuit of his "huge goal" of winning a Grand Slam title.
-
The British number one secured the biggest win of his career to date in Indian Wells, thrashing Holger Rune 6-2 6-2 in the final of the BNP Paribas Open to win his first ATP Masters 1000 title.
The victory has lifted Draper, who beat Carlos Alcaraz in the last four, to a career-high seventh in the world rankings and raised expectations the 23-year-old can challenge for the game's biggest titles.
