Jack Draper, a promising British tennis player, has officially withdrawn from the French Open due to a knee injury. This latest setback follows a long recovery from an arm injury that kept him out for nearly eight months. Since returning to the court in February, Draper has only managed to compete in nine matches across five events, retiring from his first-round match against Tomás Martín Etcheverry at the Barcelona Open due to an aggravated knee tendon injury. Despite hopes of returning for the second Grand Slam of the year, Draper has decided against risking his health in the physically demanding best-of-five-set matches on clay. He expressed his disappointment on Instagram, stating that he is focusing on recovery to ensure he can perform at his best in the future. This withdrawal adds to the challenges faced by British tennis players, as Emma Raducanu and others are also dealing with injuries, making the upcoming French Open a tough event for the UK contingent.
