The British tennis player, who has already returned to competition after his injury, showered praise on the tennis player from Murcia after completing the Career Grand Slam.
Jack Draper
We analyze the main incentives of the 13 Davis Cup 2026 ties that will determine which national teams keep their hopes alive to reach the November Finals.
After being inactive for over half a year due to a shoulder injury, Jack Draper will return to play in the Davis Cup qualifiers pitting the United Kingdom against Norway tomorrow. Despite being nearly recovered, Draper chose to "withdraw" from the Australian Open as he didn't feel ready, a decision that injury prevention expert Stephen Smith has deemed brilliant. "It was an intelligent decision for Draper not to play the Australian Open. They had a very meticulous plan and weren't willing to take any risks at the final stretch," he acknowledged in an interview with Tennis365.

Watching the level of Jack Draper against Viktor Durasovic in the Davis Cup tie between Great Britain and Norway, anyone would say that the British tennis player had been half a year without competing. Once he overcame his shoulder injury, Draper defeated the Norwegian with a double 6-2 to give his team the first point, displaying a level uncharacteristic of his inactivity. Good news for tennis, and good news for Jack, as this victory will give him confidence to face a 2026 in which great things are expected from him.

Since withdrawing from the past US Open before facing his second-round match, Jack Draper has not played a professional match again. He will do so this weekend in the Davis Cup, putting behind five months of long waiting. Will we see the best version of the Brit in 2026? That's what his colleagues from Sky Sports asked him.
"Who knows, for me it is possible to happen. I have been working hard, training well, I believe I am a better player than I was six months ago. Now what I need is to play matches, tennis is a sport of confidence, a sport where you improve your game in relation to what you compete. I took some time off to come back, so I hope to return stronger," evaluated the 24-year-old.
"I believe I'm a better player than I was six months ago" 💪

Jack Draper is back. The British tennis player, who reached number 4 in the ATP rankings in 2025, has not competed since the US Open due to a shoulder injury. After skipping the Australian Open, Draper is back on the court preparing for the Davis Cup tie between the United Kingdom and Norway (February 5 and 6), where he will serve as the number one for his team. After half a year of suffering, he will finally be able to return to the court to try to find the consistency that has been lacking in his short career.

Carlos Alcaraz is on fire in this Australian Open 2026. The Spaniard is on a roll and after defeating Alex de Miñaur in the quarterfinals, he advances to the semifinals in Melbourne for the first time, where he will face Alexander Zverev. However, he has achieved this in an even more challenging way, without dropping a single set. This puts him back on the list of active tennis players who have reached the semifinals of a Grand Slam without losing a set.
The player from Murcia had already done it in the past US Open, and the list includes Jannik Sinner (Australian Open 2024, Roland Garros 2025), Novak Djokovic (Australian Open 2008 and 2015, Roland Garros 2015 and 2019, Wimbledon 2013, and US Open 2012), Jack Draper (US Open 2024), Daniil Medvedev (US Open 2020), Pablo Carreño (US Open 2017), Stan Wawrinka (Roland Garros 2017), and Gaël Monfils (US Open 2016).

Jack Draper is one of the major absences at the 2026 Australian Open. The British tennis player has found injuries to be his greatest enemy and has chosen Spain as the ideal place to recover in preparation for his anticipated return, which he has already scheduled. "I love the atmosphere in Spain; I wish there was something similar in the United Kingdom, with such familiar vibes. I came here because the weather is better. Hopefully, I'll be back for the Davis Cup (February 5th and 6th vs Norway)," he stated.
