Jack Draper ruled out of French Open with knee tendon injury
Britain's Jack Draper will miss the rest of the clay court season including next month's French Open due to a knee tendon injury.

Britain's Jack Draper has been ruled out for the remainder of the clay court season after suffering a knee tendon injury. The news means the British player will miss next month's French Open, one of the four Grand Slam tournaments on the tennis calendar. Draper's absence marks a significant setback for the 24-year-old, who has been building momentum on tour in recent seasons. The injury forces him to withdraw from upcoming ATP Tour events scheduled during the clay court campaign. Clay courts present a different challenge to the faster grass and hardcourt surfaces, and Draper will now focus on recovery ahead of the grass court season that follows. The announcement was made by BBC Sport, citing the injury update from Draper's team. No timeline has been given for his return to competitive play.
