Jack Draper refuses to call Andy Murray Sir after Eastbourne win

Jack Draper secured a comeback victory at the Eastbourne International on Monday, defeating Marcos Giron in straight sets. The British number one credited temporary coach Andy Murray for the win but made clear he would not use the knighted title.

Draper returned from a two-month injury layoff to win 6-4 7-6(3). He told reporters after the match that he had not addressed Murray as Sir and had no plans to do so.

Murray, knighted in 2016, joined Draper's team ahead of the grass-court swing. The former world number one is providing short-term support focused on mental aspects of the game while balancing family commitments.

Draper next faces Jack Pinnington Jones in the second round. Wimbledon begins next week, and the 24-year-old aims to build match fitness without aggravating previous knee and bone issues.
