Draper Withdraws From US Open With Arm Injury
British star Jack Draper misses US Open with bone bruise in left arm, continuing injury absence
The update
British tennis star Jack Draper has been ruled out of the US Open due to a persistent bone bruise in his dominant left arm. The former world No. 4, who has not played in a single Grand Slam this year, made the decision after two difficult matches in the United States, concluding he needs more time to recover.
Why it matters
Draper’s withdrawal follows world No. 1 Jannik Sinner’s announcement that he will also miss the US Open with a knee injury. This latest blow to the tournament comes as Carlos Alcaraz prepares to make his return after a four-month absence with a wrist injury. Draper’s absence continues a challenging year for the British player, who has made several adjustments to his equipment and service motion to manage his condition.
