Jack Draper continues to worry the tennis world with his physical problems. Less than a year ago, the British tennis player rose to be number four in the ATP rankings, but a series of injuries have caused him to plummet in the standings. At the 2026 Barcelona Open, Draper withdrew again, and former number 1 Andy Roddick has shared his opinion on this situation. "What we don't want are ups and downs for someone with so much talent. Last year, he was perhaps the third-best player in the world from January to May. If I were his coach, I wouldn't even mention the points he has to defend. I would say: 'I don't care about the clay court season; let's deduct those points now, you are ranked 90th.' Let's come back with the mentality of earning our lunch every day. Defending points for someone who has been injured is like: erasing," he revealed on the 'Served' podcast.
