Jack Draper suffers a first-round defeat to Terence Atmane at the Canadian Open in Montreal, breaking down in tears during his comeback appearance. Multiple outlets report that the British player’s long-term left-arm injury issues appear to affect his performance as he returns to action. BBC Sport describes Draper crying midway through the match, while Sky Sports and Sky News similarly say he was in tears during the loss. The Guardian adds context that Draper is competing for the first time since withdrawing from Wimbledon due to a recurrence of a bruised bone in his left arm.
The match result is consistently reported across the coverage: Atmane wins 6-3, 2-6, 6-2. The reports focus on Draper’s emotional reaction during the contest and the apparent re-emergence or continued impact of his arm problem. No source indicates a definitive medical diagnosis beyond the ongoing injury concern, but the accounts align that his comeback from injury is not fully resolved and hampers his play in Montreal.
