Spread the wordFormer British number one Jack Draper has withdrawn on the eve of another tournament because of the long-term arm injury which continues to cause him discomfort.
“These last months have felt like nothing but adversity and setbacks,” Draper wrote on Instagram shortly after his withdrawal was announced.
However, there is no doubt this is another concerning development – and a worrying pattern with an injury which Draper describes as “complicated”.
“It’s hard to tell when you can push [and] when not to push,” Draper said at Wimbledon.
Draper, who is now ranked 147th in the world, has not played a major since the US Open in August.
