Draper out of Wimbledon as injury struggles continue
British tennis player Jack Draper has withdrawn from Wimbledon due to a long-term arm injury, calling it the most painful moment in the last 12 months.
Britain's Jack Draper has pulled out of Wimbledon just 24 hours before his first-round match, citing a persistent arm injury. The 22-year-old was scheduled to face American sixth seed Taylor Fritz on Centre Court on Tuesday, but his long-standing arm problem resurfaced.
Draper, who reached the semi-finals in Eastbourne last week, has been hampered by the issue for most of the past year. It has now prevented him from competing in another Grand Slam event.
"There have been a lot of painful moments in the last 12 months, but this one is definitely the absolute worst," Draper said, describing himself as "devastated" by the withdrawal.
