Jack Draper confirmed for Cincinnati Open despite injury concerns

Jack Draper has been confirmed to participate in the Cincinnati Open next week, following an emotional exit at the National Bank Open in Montreal. The 24-year-old was visibly distressed after losing his match to Terence Atmane, marking his first appearance since a lengthy injury absence. Draper has dealt with recurring arm injuries, which raised doubts about his ability to compete at the upcoming US Open starting August 30. Despite these concerns, he has received a wild card entry for Cincinnati, where he aims to regain his form ahead of the Grand Slam.
