Injured Draper ends season early
2025-09-10
LONDON: Britain`s Jack Draper has called time on his season after an arm injury that also forced him to withdraw from the US Open, he said on Monday.
Fifth seed Draper pulled out of the tournament before his second-round meeting with ZizouBergs in late August after first overcoming Argentine qualifier Federico Agustin Gomez.
Drapers appearance at Flushing Meadows was his first singles event since a secondround exit at Wimbledon last month, with the 23-year-oldadmitting he had been unsure whether he would recover in time from a bruised humerus in his serving arm.
It now appears the comeback may have come too soon for the world number seven.
`Unfortunately, the injury tomy arm is something I have to rest and means Ill be sitting out the rest of 2025,` he said in a message on social media.
Draper also reached the semifinals of last year`s US Open before losing to eventual winner Jannik sinner.-Reuters
