British No. 1 Jack Draper believes the pressure to compete with Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner contributed to the arm injury that sidelined him for much of the 2025 season. Draper returned to action at the Davis Cup, defeating Viktor Durasovic. He admits the desire to match the top players may have pushed his body too hard, leading to the injury.

The 24-year-old climbed to world No. 4 last June. However, a "complex" bone bruising injury hampered his progress. Draper is now withdrawing from the Rotterdam Open. He feels he is improving and will soon be ready to challenge the top players. The Davis Cup win against Norway saw Great Britain advance to the next qualifying round.

Draper's return in Oslo against Durasovic was his first match in five months. His coach, Leon Smith, confirmed that playing only one match was always the plan. The victory, along with doubles and a singles win, led to a 4-0 Great Britain win. Draper aims to return even stronger and compete at the highest level.

With his focus on recovery, Draper is looking ahead. He is hungry to compete with Alcaraz and Sinner. Tennis fans will be watching to see when Draper can fully return. They also want to see if he can challenge the current leaders. Sky Sports will have live coverage of the ATP and WTA Tours.
