Jack Draper Withdraws From Australian Open Over Lingering Arm Injury

A lingering left-arm bone contusion makes five-set tennis too risky for now.

Overview

  • The world No. 10 announced the decision in a social video alongside his team.
  • He has not played since late August after withdrawing before his second-round match at the US Open.
  • The problem stems from a bone contusion to his left humerus sustained after his Wimbledon loss to Marin Cilic in July.
  • Planned exhibition appearances this month were scrapped as recovery timelines extended.
  • Draper said he is in the final stage of rehab and aims to return in 2026 after dropping from No. 4 in June to No. 10.
