Jack Draper breaks advertising board during Queen's semi-final defeat

British No. 1 tennis player Jack Draper was defeated in the semi-finals of the Queen's Club tournament by Czech player Jiri Lehecka in a closely contested three-set match. Draper's frustration boiled over late in the match when he lost a crucial game, leading him to smash his Dunlop racket into an electronic advertising board, breaking both the board and his racquet, and sustaining a minor knee injury. He received a code violation warning for unsportsmanlike conduct from the umpire during the incident. Despite his temper, Draper's recent form has been impressive, including winning an ATP 1000 title and reaching a career-high world ranking of No. 4 ahead of Wimbledon. Draper’s loss means he missed the opportunity to face top player Carlos Alcaraz before Wimbledon, but he secured the important No. 4 seeding for the upcoming tournament. Lehecka will face the winner of the Alcaraz vs. Bautista Agut semi-final in the Queen's Club final.
