Jack Draper withdraws from Dubai Tennis Championships
Jack Draper has withdrawn from the Dubai Tennis Championships to “manage” his workload.
Draper, 23, announced the decision to miss the tournament, which starts on Monday, a day after losing to Andrey Rublev in three sets in the final of the Qatar Open in Doha.
Britain’s number one, who is set to rise to 12th in the world rankings, has said he will return for the BNP Paribas Open and Miami Open next month.
Draper posted on X: “Unfortunately, I have made the decision to withdraw from Dubai Duty Free.
“After a great week at Qatar Open Tennis, I’m taking on board advice to prioritise my recovery and manage my body after a number of long matches, and give myself the best chance of competing consistently throughout the year.
“I’m gutted not to compete at such an amazing event but will look forward to returning to competition at BNP Paribas Open and Miami Open.”
Britain’s number five Dan Evans has been given a wildcard entry into the singles competition and will face Karen Khachanov in Monday’s first round.
