British Jack Draper has withdrawn from the Wimbledon tournament due to a recurrence of a shoulder injury.

British player Jack Draper has announced that he is withdrawing from the Wimbledon tournament due to a recurrence of a shoulder injury, on a dark day for British tennis, after Emma Raducanu did the same due to a stress fracture.

Draper, at 24 years old, has had a difficult year, playing in only a few tournaments due to physical issues, including a break of nearly seven months after last year's Wimbledon. He was set to play against Taylor Fritz on Centre Court, but stated that he is devastated by his withdrawal, emphasizing that there is no greater honor for a British player than to compete at Wimbledon.

Recently, Draper returned to the court in Eastbourne, where he had a good performance, reaching the semifinals, but the bone contusion remains a challenge. His withdrawal comes shortly after Raducanu announced that she is facing a stress fracture in her right calf.
