British tennis star Jack Draper is set to return to action in February, joining his team-mates Cameron Norrie, Jacob Fearnley and top-ranked doubles pair Lloyd Glasspool and Julian Cash for the Davis Cup qualifier against Norway.
The 23-year-old had been sidelined since Wimbledon due to a bone bruising injury in his left arm, but has now announced he will make his comeback. Draper's return is a welcome boost for captain Leon Smith, who has often struggled without his top players over the past couple of years.
Draper's next match will be in Oslo on February 5-6, and he will face a tough test against Norway. The team's success depends on several factors, including the fitness and form of Draper, but the British No 1 is eager to get back on court and make an impact.
The 10th-ranked singles player has been working hard to regain his fitness after a series of injuries and setbacks, and he is now more determined than ever to succeed. His latest coach, Jamie Delgado, will be watching closely as Draper prepares for the Davis Cup.
Draper's best Grand Slam results so far include reaching the semi-finals of Queen's Club and Wimbledon, where he was defeated by Jiri Lehecka and Marin Cilic respectively. He has also reached the quarter-finals of the Italian Open and had a promising clay-court campaign before being knocked out by Alexander Bublik.
Draper's breakthrough victory at Indian Wells included a win over Carlos Alcaraz, but he ultimately lost to Casper Ruud in the final. The 23-year-old has been playing some impressive tennis this year, including reaching the top five of the world rankings for the first time.
Despite his promising form, Draper is aware that he still has a long way to go before becoming a major force on the ATP Tour. He will have to continue working hard and overcoming his setbacks if he is to succeed at the highest level.
The ATP singles rankings currently place Draper 10th in the world, with a career-high ranking of No 4 last year. His recent performance in Indian Wells suggests that he has the talent and skill to compete with the best players on tour.
Draper's latest results are as follows:
* Stuttgart Open - won (June 2024)
* Vienna Open - lost
* Indian Wells - won (March 2025)
* Doha - runner-up
* Miami - second round
* Monte Carlo Masters - last 16
* Madrid Masters - final (lost to Casper Ruud after three sets)
* Italian Open - quarter-finals
Overall, Jack Draper is a talented young player with a promising future in tennis. He will be eager to make the most of his opportunity in the Davis Cup and show that he has what it takes to compete at the highest level.
