Jack Draper eager to ‘compete with the best’ as Taylor Fritz test awaits

Briton was No 4 seed a year ago before injury struck but is working back to fitness with Andy Murray’s help

There were many times in the past year when just watching tennis was painful for Jack Draper. Twelve months ago, the Briton was riding high, ranked a career‑high No 4, having won his first Masters 1000 title in Indian Wells.

The subsequent year has been the most difficult of his career, with an arm injury – a bruised humerus – causing him to pull out of the US Open and miss the Australian Open this year, while a knee injury in the spring forced him out of the French Open. He returned last week in Eastbourne, reaching the semi-finals.

The dynamic landscape of current events often brings forth significant discussions. Monitoring these developments provides crucial insights.
