Despite the hopeful statements of a few days ago, finally Jack Draper will not be able to participate in the 2026 Australian Open. The British tennis player has a arm injury for several months, and through a video uploaded to his social networks he has revealed that he is not yet ready to compete in a Grand Slam and prefers to be cautious so as not to undo all the progress made.

In this way, the first Grand Slam of the year loses one of the big names on the circuit, a tennis player who was once number four of the ATP ranking in mid-2025 and that if he has not continued to improve it is because of the same problem that has been weighing down his entire career: his physique. For now, Draper will lose all the points obtained in last year’s ocean tour, waiting to know if he will be able to defend his title. Masters 1000 en Indian Wells obtained this year.
