Overview

  • Delgado takes over as Draper’s lead coach and will travel to most events, while long-time coach James Trotman reduces travel but stays involved.
  • Draper remains out for the rest of 2025 with bone bruising in his left upper arm, having withdrawn from the US Open before the second round.
  • On-court work with Delgado is expected to begin in November as part of Draper’s pre-season preparations.
  • Draper plans to test any tweaks at the Ultimate Tennis Showdown Grand Final in London from December 5–7 at the Copper Box Arena.
  • Delgado previously coached Andy Murray from 2016 to 2021, including the 2016 Wimbledon triumph, and ended a three-year stint with Grigor Dimitrov last month.
