Jack Draper<\/a> suffered a heartbreaking exit from the Barcelona Open Banc Sabadell<\/a> on Monday when the Briton retired in the third set of his opening-round clash against Tomas Martin Etcheverry<\/a> due to injury.<\/p>\n

The 24-year-old was trailing 1-4 in the third set when he walked to the net and ended the contest after one hour and 45 minutes at the clay-court ATP 500 event.<\/p>\n

Following his retirement, the Briton shared his thoughts on social media.<\/p>\n

“Sad to retire in Barcelona,” Draper wrote in an Instagram post. “I\u2019ve tried hard these last months to stay positive and give my all. It will take time, but I will work my way out of this. Thank you for all the support throughout this process.”<\/p>\n

Draper, currently No. 27 in the PIF ATP Rankings, was competing in his first match since his opening-round loss to Reilly Opelka<\/a> in Miami. Earlier in March, the Briton reached the quarter-finals in Indian Wells, where he defeated Novak Djokovic<\/a> in the fourth round en route to the last eight.<\/p>\n

Last season, the 24-year-old reached a career-high No. 4 in the PIF ATP Rankings. However, he was forced to shut down his season in September due to an arm injury. Draper returned to competition in February this year in a Davis Cup tie against Norway before competing at the ATP 500 event in Dubai.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jack Draper Draper: ‘I will work my way out of this’ Briton retired against Etcheverry in Barcelona April…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":582258,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[72],"tags":[99,428],"class_list":["post-582257","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\/582257","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=582257"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/582257\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/582258"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=582257"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=582257"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=582257"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
