Jack Draper (GBR) in action during his Quarter Final match in the 2024 US Open Tennis against Alex de Minaur (AUS)
The adductor injury which has plagued Jack Draper for months on Sunday knocked the British No. 1 out of the ATP Dubai event.
The losing finalist at the weekend in Doha to Andrey Rublev was forced to withdraw from the event due to his lingering fitness problem.
“Unfortunately, I have made the decision to withdraw after a great week at the Qatar Open,” Draper said.
“I’m taking onboard advice to prioritise my recovery and manage my body after a number of long matches, to give myself the best chance of competing consistently throughout the year.”
The world No. 12 added: “I’m gutted not to be competing.”
Play begins on Monday with Daniil Medvedev heading up the seedings ahead of Alex de Minaur.
