Jack Draper to Miss US Open as Injury Absence Continues
- British tennis player Jack Draper will miss the US Open due to a long-running bone bruising injury, ensuring he will not have played in a single grand slam match in 2026.
- Following a spring knee injury that forced him out of the French Open and Wimbledon, Draper's season has been derailed by the bone bruising injury affecting his dominant left arm.
- The 24-year-old suffered early exits in Montreal and Cincinnati last week, with Draper admitting, 'It's like there are no right answers,' regarding his recovery efforts and noting the injury has impacted his fighting spirit.
- World No. 1 Jannik Sinner also announced he will miss the tournament with a knee issue, though reigning champion Carlos Alcaraz is set to return to Flushing Meadows after a four-month wrist injury absence.
- Having fallen to 143rd in the world, Draper would have required a wildcard to enter New York; the former semifinalist now faces a long recovery to regain competitive form on the professional tour.
