• Draper cited persistent discomfort in his left arm after a seven-week comeback from a diagnosed bone bruise to the humerus.
• He had skipped Toronto and Cincinnati and then won a four-set opener over Federico Agustin Gomez while dialing back his serve.
• Failure to defend last year's semifinal points will drop his live ranking from No. 5 to at least No. 7, with further movement dependent on other results.
