Jack Draper Splits With Longtime Coach James Trotman as Jamie Delgado Takes Charge

Trotman cites family priorities after four years with the British No 1, clearing the way for Jamie Delgado to oversee Draper’s comeback from a left‑arm injury.

Overview

  • Trotman confirmed he is stepping away after a four-year partnership, saying the travel and demands conflicted with being a father and husband.
  • He will return to an LTA men’s national‑coach role and says he will remain close to Draper and support from the sidelines.
  • Delgado, who previously coached Andy Murray and Grigor Dimitrov, has been appointed head coach and is expected to lead on tour.
  • Draper shut down his season due to bone bruising in his left arm and is targeting a return at the UTS Grand Final in London in December.
  • A warm‑weather training block in San Diego at the end of November is pencilled in if the arm heals as expected, with Trotman slated to join before fully stepping back.
