href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/jack-draper\">Jack Draper<\/a>-Andy Murray partnership has resumed in North America with the pair spotted on the practice courts ahead of the Washington DC Open.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/what-andy-murray-will-give-jack-draper-as-he-is-confirmed-as-his-new-coach\">The British pair started working together in May<\/a> following Draper\u2019s split from Jamie Delgado, but it was a stop-start affair as there were several delays to their first event as a pair due to the former world No 4\u2019s injury nightmare.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/jack-draper\">Draper<\/a> was forced to miss the start of the grass-court season due to injury, but finally made his return at the Eastbourne Open as he reached the semi-final with the great Murray in his player\u2019s box.<\/p>\n<p>On the back of that run, there were high hopes he would reach the business end at Wimbledon, but he was forced to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/jack-draper-told-where-most-damage-done-resulted-wimbledon-heartbreak\">withdraw from the grass-court Grand Slam<\/a> due to a flare-up of his left-arm injury.<\/p>\n<p>But there is good news as the injury won\u2019t keep him out for a lengthy period, as he is set to make his comeback at next week\u2019s Mubadala DC Open.<\/p>\n<h2>Tennis365 Exclusive Interviews<\/h2>\n<p><a

to call for a \u2018compromise\u2019<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/carlos-alcaraz-injury-jack-draper-andy-murray-claim\">Andy Murray has an intriguing take on injuries affecting Jack Draper and Carlos Alcaraz<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There were initially doubts that Draper\u2019s partnership with Murray would continue beyond Wimbledon as the former world No 1 admitted that he was not keen on travelling as he told The Sun in May: \u201cI just had no interest in travelling and being on the road, being away from my family. It wasn\u2019t that I disliked coaching. It\u2019s just I didn\u2019t enjoy it more than I do being at home with my family.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The three-time Grand Slam winner added: \u201cI said I\u2019d help him as much as I can, but I still want to be able to drop my kids at school and pick them up from school and I don\u2019t want to travel much and be away from them for long periods.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But Murray has made the trip to the United States as he joined the 24-year-old during training at the William HG FitzGerald Tennis Center.<\/p>\n<p>Draper \u2013 who has missed all three Grand Slams this year \u2013 has slipped to No 147 in the ATP Rankings and needed a wildcard to compete at the ATP 500 event in DC.<\/p>\n<p>He will then drop down a level as he has entered the Brownsburg ATP 75 Challenger, which starts on 10 August.<\/p>\n<p>As things stand, Draper will miss this year\u2019s US Open as he has slipped to No 147 in the rankings, which is not good enough for a direct entry into a Grand Slam.<\/p>\n<p>He will either have to play in the qualifying event or hope organisers give him a wildcard.<\/p>\n<p><!-- Article End --><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jack Draper and Andy Murray set to kick-start partnership again in North America Shahida Jacobs 24 Jul 2026 8:45 AM Andy Murray and Jack Draper The Jack Draper-Andy Murray partnership has resumed in North America with the pair spotted on the practice courts ahead of the Washington DC Open.
