Jack Draper is set to make his long-awaited return to action at the Davis Cup.
The Briton has been sidelined with an arm injury for the majority of the last seven months, having played just one singles match since his second-round exit at Wimbledon.
Draper featured at the 2025 US Open and won his first match at the tournament, but withdrew before his second-round clash before shutting down his season completely.
He will now play his first competitive match against Viktor Durasovic in Great Britain’s Davis Cup tie with Norway.
Jack Draper states his goal for the 2026 tennis season
In an interview with Women’s Wear Daily, Draper revealed his goal for the remainder of the 2026 season ahead of his comeback.
The former US Open semifinalist said: “In 2026, my goal is to build throughout the year, keep on improving.
“Obviously I want to achieve amazing things, but I have never liked to set goals and instead believe in focusing on day-in, day-out consistent work, and trust that my goals will come with this.
“My game is in a good spot to have an amazing 2026,” concluded Draper, who reached a career-high ranking of fourth in the world in 2025.
