Jack Draper has suffered yet another setback in recent months, being forced to withdraw from the ATP Washington 2026 just one day before his debut against Alex Michelsen due to a new injury to his left arm. It's becoming too many physical issues for a player whose worst enemy is his own body and who can't seem to catch a break.

It's worth remembering that Draper was once ranked number 4 in the world, but since the middle of last year, he has been plagued by physical problems that had already marked the beginning of his career. The left shoulder, the left arm, the knee... Injuries that are hindering his progress in line with his talent, preventing him from meeting the expectations that he would be the third contender in the dominance of Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner.

Draper and a nightmare he can't wake up from

Last year, Draper could barely play 10 tournaments, withdrawing from the US Open due to a shoulder issue and starting a streak that continues to this day. This year, he returned in February playing the Davis Cup with the United Kingdom, and even competed in the Indian Wells and Miami Masters 1000 to keep gaining momentum, but it was clear he still had a long way to go. Additionally, in his first clay court tournament in Barcelona, he had to retire due to a knee problem.

Two and a half months later, Draper announced Andy Murray as his coach and made his comeback on the grass court with the Eastbourne tournament, where he reached the semifinals. However, since then, he has been unable to play due to several injuries, making his return to the courts once again uncertain. Jack keeps trying and working harder than ever to turn the situation around, but he has entered a loop he needs to break free from as soon as possible to get his career back on track and become the player he once was.
