The 23-year-old’s striking looks – coupled with his success on the court – have landed him a gig with the powerhouse of British fashion.

And the world. No.7 is proud as punch to be representing the brand, which he’s long been a fan of.

He said: “Being able to represent Burberry as a brand ambassador is a real honor for me.

“I have admired the brand since I was a kid — it’s an iconic house and represents classic British style.”

Burberry themselves are over the moon to have Draper as a brand ambassador.

Chief Creative Officer Daniel Lee said: “It’s inspiring seeing Jack Draper represent Great Britain with such a level of commitment.

“He is already one of his generation’s most talented sportspeople.

“We are looking forward to watching his matches over the next few months.”

Draper’s inking of a deal with Burberry comes just weeks after his triumph at Indian Wells.

Victory in the final against Holger Rune saw the Surrey slugger claim his first ATP Masters 1000 title.

Speaking after his 68-minute demolition of the Dane, he said: “It feels incredible to win here.

“I have been watching this tournament since I was a young guy, watching all the champions play on this big court.

“It means the world to me, honestly, to be able to be a champion here.

“It’s definitely a big moment for me, getting inside the top 10 and to win my first Masters title just adds to my inner belief and confidence.

“I came in today knowing this is a final.

“In truth, I felt kind of a bit nervous before I played but then when I got out on the court, I felt amazing.

“I felt like I was in control. I knew what I needed to do.”
