What Time Will Jack Draper Play Against Elias Ymer?

Draper and Ymer are on the Day 2 Schedule at Wimbledon 2024 on Tuesday 2 July. Lets breakdown the career, past stats and recent form of these players and predict who will get the victory.

Who Will Win In This Head-To-Head?

No. 28 Jack Draper from Great Britain will be facing qualifier Elias Ymer from Sweden in their first-ever meeting at the Tour level. However, they have faced each other once before at the Challenger level, with Ymer emerging as the winner in the 1st round of the 2019 Helsinki Challenger.

Draper has never lost a Tour-level match to a player ranked as low as Ymer’s current ranking of No. 205. The lowest-ranked player to defeat Draper at the Tour level is No. 176 Jesper de Jong in the 1st round of this year’s Roland Garros.

Speaking of Roland Garros, Draper lost the only match he has played against a qualifier at a Grand Slam, where he fell to De Jong in the 1st round. However, he has a 4-3 win-loss record against qualifiers at the Tour level overall.

As for Ymer, he lost the only match he has played against a British player at the Tour level, falling to Cameron Norrie in the 2nd round of the 2021 Los Cabos tournament.

Draper, 22 years old, is currently ranked No. 28 in the ATP rankings as of July 1. He has won 1 title in his career and has a 7-8 record in Grand Slam matches, while Ymer, 28 years old, has yet to win a title and holds a 1-9 record in Grand Slam matches. Draper also holds the edge in their head-to-head record on grass, with a career record of 14-6 compared to Ymer’s 0-2.

This will be Draper’s third appearance at Wimbledon, with his best result being reaching the 2nd round in 2022. He achieved his best Grand Slam result at the 2023 US Open, where he reached the round of 16. In 2024, he reached the 2nd round at the Australian Open but fell in the 1st round at Roland Garros.

Before Wimbledon this year, Draper won his first Tour-level title at Stuttgart and reached the quarterfinals at Queen’s, defeating No. 2 Carlos Alcaraz in the 2nd round. He is coached by James Trotman and Wayne Ferreira, who reached the quarterfinals at Wimbledon in 1994.

Ymer, on the other hand, is aiming to reach the 2nd round at Wimbledon for the first time and equal his best Grand Slam result. He has primarily competed at the Challenger level and has won 6 Challenger titles in his career. He has a 1-21 record against Top 30 players, with his only victory coming against No. 15 Aslan Karatsev in 2022.

Ymer will be looking to record his first Tour-level match-win on grass, as his previous appearances at Wimbledon are the only matches he has played on the surface at the Tour level. He is coached by his younger brother Rafael Ymer and Frederico Goncalves.

Overall, Draper enters the match as the higher-ranked player and the favorite based on previous results and performances.
