Jack Draper says supporters should be patient as he works toward his return to competition after withdrawing from the DC Open with an arm injury. Draper, a former world No. 4, pulled out of the tournament, citing the problem, which led to his absence from the event. In response, he asks fans not to expect an immediate comeback, framing his situation as part of a difficult period that requires careful management of his fitness. The reports describe this as a broader “perfect storm” of injuries, suggesting multiple factors affecting his availability rather than a single isolated issue. Both sources present the same core details: Draper withdraws from the DC Open due to an arm injury and publicly calls for patience regarding his return. The outlets do not provide a specific timeline for his comeback, focusing instead on the need for recovery and gradual return to play. No additional match details or medical specifics beyond the arm injury are included in the coverage.
