World No. 7 Jack Draper Ends 2025 Season Due to Arm Injury

British tennis player Jack Draper, ranked world No. 7, has announced he will miss the remainder of the 2025 season due to a persistent left arm injury that forced him to withdraw from the U.S. Open before his second-round match. Despite a strong start to the year, including winning his first Masters 1000 title at Indian Wells and reaching multiple later rounds at major tournaments, injuries have hampered his progress since Wimbledon. Draper attempted a comeback at the U.S. Open but struggled with his forehand and serve, indicating the injury was still impacting his performance. At 23, Draper has yet to enjoy a fully injury-free season, but his past success, including reaching the 2024 U.S. Open semifinals, shows his potential to compete at the elite level. He expressed motivation to return stronger and fulfill his potential once fully recovered. The injury is a significant setback for Draper, who was on a promising trajectory before being sidelined.
