Jack Draper Withdraws From Canadian Open

World No. 5 Jack Draper arrived at the All England Club this summer carrying plenty of momentum and expectations. Seeded fourth, he opened his campaign with a commanding performance against Sebastian Báez, prevailing when his opponent retired early in the third set.

Draper’s bid to break past the second round, however, was halted by former finalist Marin Čilić, who produced a vintage display to beat the Briton 6‑4, 6‑3, 1‑6, 6‑4 on Centre Court.

The loss exposed the challenges Draper has faced on grass, marking his third second‑round exit in Wimbledon appearances.

Just weeks later, Draper confirmed he will miss the National Bank Open in Toronto, citing a left‑arm injury picked up “after Wimbledon.”

In a social‑media post, he described the setback as “nothing serious, but I have to make sure it recovers fully for the rest of the season. Unfortunately, I won’t be able to compete in Toronto and Cincinnati…. See you in NYC!”
