Jack Draper is experiencing a critical situation in his career, as due to the constant injuries he has suffered, he has gone from being number 4 in the world to being beyond the top 100. The US Open is approaching, and there is much debate about whether he should receive a wildcard to directly enter the main draw, a point that Greg Rusedski has emphasized.

Draper hired Andy Murray as his coach a few weeks ago, so his presence in New York would be an extra incentive to a tournament filled with stars. "If Jack is fit and Andy Murray as well, that will continue to generate a lot of excitement in the United States if there is that connection in New York. If he is in form, yes, he should receive a special invitation. If not, then no, but I am optimistic and believe he will be in shape, and this week in Washington, we will know what situation he is in," Rusedski stated on his 'Off Court' podcast.

Washington, a crucial week to assess Draper's level

Draper will make his debut at ATP Washington this Tuesday against Alex Michelsen, who will be playing at home and is in great form after winning a Challenger last week. Therefore, it will be a litmus test for the British tennis player to determine his aspirations. As Greg points out, this match is key to finding out whether he should receive the invitation to the US Open or not, as "Jack was the one everyone was talking about to face Alcaraz, Sinner, and Djokovic. He has too much talent to not be there. Let's see how many weeks he can last, and hopefully, he will make it to the US Open, and we won't have to talk about injuries again," he concluded.

Currently, Draper's form is a mystery, but there is no doubt that if he is well, he can challenge anyone, and if his body cooperates, he has the talent to break back into the top 10 and compete in the best tournaments on the circuit. However, to this day, his physical condition remains his biggest enemy, so it will be necessary to see how he progresses to know if he can be at 100% in such an important tournament like the US Open.
