Draper's Wimbledon Dream Shattered by Injury
29 Jun
Summary
- Jack Draper withdrew from Wimbledon due to a persistent arm injury.
- The withdrawal comes just 24 hours before his scheduled first-round match.
- This is the second major British withdrawal after Emma Raducanu's exit.

Jack Draper has expressed deep disappointment after being forced to withdraw from Wimbledon due to a recurring arm injury. The British tennis player was scheduled to compete in his first-round match against Taylor Fritz on Centre Court. However, the persistent bone bruising in his serving arm, which has sidelined him for most of the past year, has once again prevented him from participating in a Grand Slam event.
Draper described the situation as the 'absolute worst' among many painful moments over the last twelve months. His withdrawal adds to the disappointment for British tennis fans, as it follows Emma Raducanu's earlier withdrawal due to a stress fracture in her right leg. Draper had previously indicated concerns about the high number of injuries affecting leading players in the sport.
