Jack Draper has been forced to pull out of the DC Open due to a left arm injury. Despite recently claiming to be in good physical condition, Draper's 2026 season has been marred by injuries, causing him to miss all three Grand Slam tournaments. The British tennis player, coached by Sir Andy Murray, has seen his world ranking slip to 147, making it likely that he will have to go through qualifying to compete in the US Open in September. Draper reflected on his challenging year, stating, "I've had an incredibly tough 12 months, with a lot of adversity, problem-solving, and pain." He expressed that he feels better than he has in the last year but acknowledged the difficulties he has faced with his arm, knee, and shoulder issues.
With his participation in the US Open now uncertain, Draper's chances of competing in a major tournament this year are dwindling. For the latest tennis news, schedules, and live scores, visit our website. You can also stream tennis and other sports live on Sky Sports or with the NOW app.
