British number one Jack Draper has withdrawn from the forthcoming Canadian Open and Cincinnati Open with an arm injury.

But the 23-year-old is targeting a return at the US Open, which begins on 24 August.

Draper, who reached the US Open semi-finals in 2024, said on social media: “After Wimbledon I picked up an injury in my left arm, nothing serious.

“I have to make sure it recovers fully for the rest of the season.”

The Canadian Open gets under way on 26 July, while the Cincinnati Open starts on 4 August.

Draper was knocked out of Wimbledon in the second round after being defeated in four sets by Croatia’s Marin Cilic.
