Draper Misses Out on US Open Main Draw and Will Have to Qualify Jack Draper, the 24 year old British tennis player who reached the semi finals of the US Open just two years ago, has been ranked 147th in the world due to a year long absence from the tour caused by injury woes.
His recent decision to compete at the DC Open in Washington marks his first outing since missing Wimbledon due to a recurrence of bone bruising in his left arm.
Draper's struggles highlight the perils of injury in tennis, particularly for British players who have been plagued by this issue in recent years.
