Jack Draper Granted Wildcard for December UTS London Final After Injury Layoff

The British No 1 is opting for a lower‑pressure exhibition to restart competition following a season‑ending arm injury.

Overview

Draper has accepted a wildcard for the UTS London Grand Final at the Copper Box Arena in December, setting his planned return to competition.
Earlier this month he ended his 2025 ATP season to rest an arm issue that led him to withdraw before his US Open second‑round match.
The problem was reported as bone bruising diagnosed after his Wimbledon defeat to Marin Cilic.
He ruled himself out of the Six Kings Slam in Saudi Arabia and the ATP Finals in Turin, with Tennis365 reporting significant missed earnings including a $1.5m appearance fee.
The world top‑10 player, who reached a career high of No 4 after winning Indian Wells and making the Madrid final in 2025, previously won the UTS London Grand Final in 2023.
