Jack Draper sidelined until 2027 after arm injury

Jack Draper, a 24-year-old British tennis player, has announced he will not play again this season and is aiming to return at the start of 2027. He has been suffering from bone bruising in his serving arm and has only played nine events since last year's Wimbledon. Draper missed the US Open and was in tears during a recent loss. He is taking time to reset and heal, and his team will gradually reintroduce him to training. He is currently ranked 155th and will not qualify for a protected ranking.
