In the world of tennis, where athleisure has intrigued us for quite some time, there’s a new rising star: Jack Draper. Not just for his talent on the court but also for his unmistakable style. Draper has captured the attention of not only tennis enthusiasts but also those keenly following the evolution of sports fashion. Born in Surrey and standing at 1.93m tall, the 22-year-old is also an IMG model and feels at ease in front of the camera, as he told British Vogue last summer. Let’s take a look at the highlights of his on-and-off-court appearances.
We first started noticing Draper during the semifinals of the US Open, where he faced off against Italy’s own Jannik Sinner. The tennis player stood out not only for his game but also for his choice of a look that combined performance and style.
The Outfit That Won Us Over at the US Open
Sporting the Nike Court Slam Dri-Fit Top, Victory Shorts, and Nike Vapor Pro 2 Premium shoes, Draper stepped onto the court and immediately made an impression. On X (formerly Twitter), this look was called a “sensational retro outfit”—a choice that showcased his flair for a fresh and modern style.
During the tournament, Draper paid homage to tennis legend Andre Agassi by wearing the iconic Air Tech Challenge II sneakers after defeating Alex de Minaur, swapping out his game shoes for the moment. These sneakers, with their hot pink design and black accents, embody the bold spirit of the late ’80s.

Following his participation in the Davis Cup Group Stage Finals, Draper was spotted front row at Burberry’s Spring/Summer show during London Fashion Week at the National Theatre. He was seated alongside Keely Hodgkinson, Olympic gold medalist in the 800 meters at the Paris Games, and Anna Wintour.
All in all, we now expect a slew of looks from Draper—on and off the court—to admire, comment on, and perhaps even replicate. Starting with this year’s Australian Open, we’re excited to see how his style evolves.
