British men's number one Jack Draper says he can cope with the responsibility of leading the home nation's hopes at the first Wimbledon since Sir Andy Murray retired.
Draper, who is ranked fourth in the world, has emerged as a genuine Wimbledon contender following a stunning rise over the past 12 months.
The left-handed Englishman will be the fourth seed when the grass-court Grand Slam begins on Monday.
No home player has been seeded as high at the All England Club since world number one and defending champion Murray in 2017.
"When Andy retired, they said I was the next in line," said Draper, who starts against Argentina's Sebastian Baez and must navigate a tough-looking path to the latter stages.
