British Jack Draper will return to competition next week at the Eastbourne tournament, ending a long period of inactivity caused by various physical issues. The London player has not played an official match since April, when he was forced to retire during his match against Tomás Martín Etcheverry at the Barcelona Open Banc Sabadell, popularly known as the Conde de Godó, due to a knee injury.

The 24-year-old tennis player's recovery has taken longer than expected. After that setback in Barcelona, Draper also had to withdraw from important events like Roland Garros and the Queen’s tournament while continuing to work on overcoming the physical problems that have influenced much of his season. Shoulder discomfort added to the knee injury, further delaying his return to the courts.

The end of troubles for Jack Draper

Eastbourne now presents itself as the ideal opportunity to regain form before Wimbledon. The grass tournament will also showcase for the first time in competition the partnership between Draper and Andy Murray, who recently joined his coaching team for the grass court season. Both have been working together in recent weeks at the LTA National Tennis Center, aiming for the British player to arrive in the best possible shape for the third Grand Slam of the season.

Murray is optimistic about his pupil's form and stated that Draper has been training regularly in recent weeks. The former world number one also highlighted Draper's performance in training sessions and is confident that the young British player can leave behind a period marked by injuries.

Participating in Eastbourne will mark a crucial step for Draper in his attempt to regain competitive rhythm and face Wimbledon with confidence after a particularly challenging season.
