UTS chief 'sure' Draper will play in December event
Sunday Island
|October 05, 2025
Jack Draper's preparations for 2026 have started a lot earlier than he would have wished.
-
Jack Draper was knocked out of Wimbledon in the second round
An arm injury has allowed the Briton just one singles match since Wimbledon - and forced him to end his season early after the discomfort proved too much at the US Open in August.
But the 23-year-old world number eight is back in training, and the organisers of a three-day event in London in December are confident he will be fit to play.
Draper is planning to make his comeback at December's UTS Grand Final in London, having been offered a wildcard by event founder Patrick Mouratoglou.
