Jack Draper has closed the curtain on his 2025 season.

Indian Wells champion Draper will not play again this year as he aims to recover from the arm injury that forced him to withdraw from the US Open. Draper conceded a walkover to Zizou Bergs before their scheduled US Open second-round clash.

“Unfortunately, the injury to my arm is something I have to rest and means I’ll be sitting out the rest of 2025,” said Draper, who played US Open Mixed Doubles partnering Jessica Pegula. “It is very difficult for me to accept as I was building some incredible momentum this year and playing some great stuff.

“However I’ve been through this before..and I always come back stronger as I’m so motivated to fulfil my potential as a player.”
