Jack Draper has ended his season prematurely due to a significant arm injury that compelled him to withdraw from the US Open, where he managed only one singles victory before exiting. The 23-year-old, ranked No. 7 in the world, cited “bone bruising” in his left humerus as the reason for his withdrawal, opting to prioritize healing over continuing to compete.
Unfortunately, this injury dashes Draper’s hopes of participating in the upcoming Nitto ATP Finals and the Six Kings Slam exhibition in Saudi Arabia. Draper, who had shown strong performance earlier in the season with notable victories, including his first Masters crown at Indian Wells, faced setbacks at Roland Garros and Wimbledon due to the persistent arm issue.
Despite the disappointment of missing out on these prestigious events, Draper remains optimistic about his future in tennis, expressing gratitude for the support he has received. He emphasized his determination to return stronger and continue pursuing his potential as a player. Draper’s setback underscores the challenges he has faced throughout his career, but he remains resilient and focused on his comeback.
