Jack Draper breaks down in tears during Montreal Canadian Open loss
British tennis player Jack Draper, 24, made his first Masters‑1000 appearance of the season at the National Bank Open in Montreal after missing Wimbledon and several Grand Slams because of a recurring bone‑bruise injury in his left arm. He faced French qualifier Terence Atmane in the first round and lost 6‑3, 2‑6, 6‑2. During the third‑set changeover, with the score 4‑1 against him, Draper sat down and cried, visibly distressed by pain and frustration.
The emotional scene has cast doubt on his upcoming wildcard entries to the Cincinnati Masters and the US Open, where he is also slated to play mixed doubles with Jessica Pegula. Draper, a former world No. 4 whose ranking has slipped to around 143, has been sidelined for most of 2026 by the arm injury, which also forced withdrawals from Wimbledon, the US Open and other tournaments. His future participation in the remaining summer events remains uncertain.
