Overview
- Jack Draper announced he was withdrawing from Wimbledon on Monday, June 29, because of a recurrence of a long‑standing left‑arm injury that flared before his scheduled first‑round match.
- The pull‑out cancels the high‑profile coaching partnership’s visible debut at SW19 after Andy Murray joined Draper’s grass‑court team this month.
- Taylor Fritz will now face Dušan Lajović in the first round after tournament organisers replaced Draper in the draw.
- Draper has missed large parts of the season with a bone bruise in his left arm and then a spring knee problem, injuries that medical experts say can take prolonged rest to heal.
- The withdrawal is a fresh blow to British hopes at Wimbledon and leaves questions about Draper’s short‑term schedule, his working relationship with Murray and whether he will need wildcards to rebuild his ranking.
