Jack Draper deactivates Instagram amid ongoing injury struggles

British tennis player Jack Draper has deactivated his Instagram account amid a challenging period marked by chronic injuries and emotional struggles. The move comes as Draper prepares for US Open qualifying following a season defined by physical setbacks, including bone-bruising in his left arm and knee tendinitis.

Draper has previously spoken about hitting ‘rock bottom’ due to the difficulty of managing constant injuries and the struggle of having to ‘start again’ after being sidelined from major tournaments like Wimbledon and the French Open. During a recent match in Montreal, he was seen breaking down in tears due to the physical pain and the frustration of being unable to perform at his usual level.

The sudden disappearance of his social media presence, which had over 500,000 followers, has created uncertainty regarding his visibility to sponsors, such as his clothing partner Vuori, especially as he maintains a limited tournament schedule this year.
