Jack Draper Withdraws from United Cup and Davis Cup Due to Hip Injury

The British No. 1 remains hopeful of recovering in time for the Australian Open starting January 12.

Jack Draper has pulled out of the United Cup and Britain's Davis Cup tie against Japan due to a hip injury sustained during pre-season training.
Draper, ranked world No. 15 after a breakthrough 2024 season, cited the need to manage and strengthen his hip to avoid exacerbating the injury.
He announced that he will not participate in any warm-up events and has canceled a planned training session with Carlos Alcaraz in Spain.
Despite the setbacks, Draper remains optimistic about competing in the Australian Open, which begins on January 12 in Melbourne.
His absence from the Davis Cup could lead to Jacob Fearnley, ranked No. 99, making his debut for Great Britain in 2025.
