Looking back to the eve of Wimbledon, Jack Draper can now appear to have prophetic powers. “I think it's pretty worrying, the state of men's tennis, especially right now,” the former British No 1 said. “The amount of injuries, especially young players.”
The following afternoon, a “devastated” Draper pulled out of Wimbledon after suffering a sudden relapse of the arm injury that stopped his career “in its tracks” last year. "There have been a lot of painful moments in the last 12 months but this one is definitely the absolute worst,” the 24-year-old said in a statement.
