Jack Draper seeks patience during injury comeback before US Open

Jack Draper has requested that fans be patient during his recovery from an arm injury after withdrawing from the DC Open. The former world No 4, now ranked No 147, missed all three Grand Slam tournaments this year but has received a wild card for the National Bank Open in Montreal. With two tournaments scheduled before the US Open, Draper noted the complexities of his injury and expressed optimism about his future. He aims to regain his competitive edge after an injury-riddled year, during which he participated in only five tour events over eight months.
