LONDON \u2014 Jack Draper will remain sidelined until the 2027 season as he recovers from a long-term arm injury.<\/p>\n
The 24-year-old Briton, who reached a career-high No. 4 ranking in 2025, missed all four Grand Slam tournaments this year.<\/p>\n
\u201cLast summer all the dedication and work I had put into this sport was coming together,\u201d he wrote Tuesday on Instagram. “It was all going my way and the path seemed so clear.<\/p>\n
\u201cHowever a complicated injury made things incredibly challenging and since that moment I\u2019ve been desperately trying to get back and feel as I once did on the court.\u201d<\/p>\n
The lefthander added that the adversity \u201chas helped me to grow massively in many areas of my life but has also made me feel a level of fatigue. I am taking this time to reset and heal so when I return I am 100% ready to go.\u201d<\/p>\n
Draper has targeted a return to the tour \u201cat the start of 2027.\u201d<\/p>\n
A year ago, Draper had also cut short his 2025 season because of the arm problem. He had been diagnosed with a bone bruise following a loss to Marin Cilic in the second round at Wimbledon and then pulled out of a second-round match at the U.S. Open.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"LONDON \u2014 Jack Draper will remain sidelined until the 2027 season as he recovers from a long-term arm…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":897218,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[442],"tags":[49,48,82,593],"class_list":["post-897217","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tennis","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-sports","tag-tennis"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/897217","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=897217"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/897217\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/897218"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=897217"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=897217"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=897217"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
