Jack Draper has redesigned his coaching team.<\/p>\n

Indian Wells champion Draper has split with long-time coach James Trotman, who guided the British left-hander to the BNP Paribas Open championship in March.<\/p>\n

World No. 9 Draper already announced his hiring of ex-Andy Murray coach Jamie Delgado for the 2026 season, but expressed hope Trotman would remain part of the coaching team.<\/p>\n

Trotman told BBC\u2019s Russell Fuller<\/a> he opted out of Draper\u2019s team after four years together in order to spend more time at home with his family.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve made the decision that four years has been a great run,\u201d Trotman told BBC Sport.<\/a> \u201cI\u2019ve thoroughly enjoyed it, but it was getting increasingly difficult for me juggling the demands Jack deserves as the player that he is \u2013 and also being a father and a husband.<\/p>\n

\u201cI need to start to get those energy levels back up and have a little bit more normality: watch my son play football on a Sunday, go on some family holidays, have a bit more of a normal life.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite the split, Trotman and Draper have been training together over the last week, BBC Sport reports, as the 23-year-old Briton begins his planned comeback from the left shoulder issue that forced him to pull out of the US Open.\u00a0Draper conceded a walkover to Zizou Bergs before their scheduled US Open second-round clash in August and has not played since his US Open first-round win over Federico Gomez.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"By Richard Pagliaro | Friday, October 17, 2025Photo credit: Tony Chang\/Chang Photography Jack Draper has redesigned his coaching…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":227267,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[72],"tags":[99,428],"class_list":["post-233713","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tennis","tag-sports","tag-tennis"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/233713","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=233713"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/233713\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/227267"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=233713"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=233713"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=233713"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
