Jack Draper announced his withdrawal from the upcoming Rolex Monte-Carlo Masters on Tuesday. Draper cited it as a precautionary measure as his comeback continues on the heels of an arm injury in 2025.
The British left-back missed the second half of last year and the start of this year before returning in February. He is 5-3 so far in quarterfinal appearances at Indian Wells. However, that encouraging result – which included a thrilling victory over Novak Djokovic – was followed by a quick exit in Miami at the hands of Reilly Opelka.
Americans Taylor Fritz and Sebastian Korda recently entered the Monte-Carlo withdrawal list, as did Djokovic. This is the last of the nine Masters 1000s on the annual ATP calendar that are not required for top players.
Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner are in the field along with Alexander Zverev, Lorenzo Musetti, Alex de Minaur, Felix Auger-Aliassime, and Daniil Medvedev. Stan Wawrinka, Matteo Berrettini, Gael Monfils, and Moise Kouame have wild-draw cards.
The Monte-Carlo Masters takes place April 5-12.
