Jack Draper, the 2024 US Open semi-finalist and former British No 1, has missed out on a direct spot in the 2026 US Open main draw due to injury. Currently ranked 147th after repeated bone bruising in his left arm forced him to miss Wimbledon and numerous tournaments over the past year, Draper will need to qualify for the event starting August 30. He is expected to return to competitive action at the DC Open in Washington from July 27.
