Jack Draper says he is asking for patience as he prepares to compete at the US Open, where he is looking to end a run of injury setbacks. Both outlets report that Draper has not played at a grand slam this year because of injuries, leaving him without tournament action at that level during the current season. The reports frame his US Open return in terms of managing his body and timing his comeback, with Draper indicating that progress may take time as he returns to high-level competition. While details of specific medical issues or a full timeline are not provided in the excerpts, the common thread is that his absence from grand slams is injury-related and that his priority is to get through the tournament while regaining match sharpness. Draper’s comments emphasize a cautious approach to his comeback, reflecting the uncertainty that often accompanies a return from physical problems. The focus of the coverage is therefore on his readiness and expectations entering the US Open rather than on results from earlier rounds.
