“I’m definitely going to go home… you know, this has happened a few times now, in different situations for me, I’m going to really look into it,” Draper told the BBC.
“I push my body to the limit all the time in training and in my mindset. I don’t have to worry about sort of not doing enough because I am, which points to the fact that a lot of issues I have are mental.
“I am going to have to work on that and really understand myself better in order to compete at these highest levels.
“I’m sure I’ll figure out all these problems with my team, but yeah, it’s good that I’m sort of not the finished article yet.”
He previously had a similar physical reaction when he vomited following his first-round victory over Macos Giron at the Australian Open in January.
