Jack Draper has given an update on his recovery from injury as he shared the concerning news that he has delayed his grass-court comeback once again.<\/p>\n
The former world No 4 has not played since sustaining a knee injury during his opening round match at the Barcelona Open in April.<\/p>\n
Draper<\/a> pulled out of the clay-court Masters 1000 events in Madrid and Rome, as well as the French Open, as he targeted a return to action on grass.<\/p>\n It was reported that Draper could play the Stuttgart Open, an ATP 250 event taking place this week, but that did not materialise.<\/a><\/p>\n The Brit was due to make his comeback at the Queen\u2019s Club Championships next week, but he has now pulled out of the ATP 500 tournament in London.<\/p>\n Draper has now pushed his return date back another week to the ATP 250 event in Eastbourne, which will begin on 22 June.<\/p>\n Andre Agassi makes \u2018dirty little secret\u2019 comment in warning to Alexander Zverev<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n ATP Rankings Race To Turin: Zverev overtakes Alcaraz, Djokovic drops to 13th, Cobolli jumps to 4th<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Want more from Tennis365?

The Eastbourne International takes place the week before the Wimbledon Championships.<\/p>\n Speaking to Sky Sports, former British No 1 Laura Robson gave her verdict on Draper\u2019s collaboration with Murray.<\/p>\n \u201cIn some way it\u2019s really beneficial that Andy\u2019s in his corner but in other ways it\u2019s more pressure as well,\u201d said the former world No 27.<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t know which way I\u2019m leaning towards still because there\u2019s going to be so much attention now on that first match back, wherever it may be.<\/p>\n \u201cThat probably isn\u2019t going to feel great, considering he\u2019s not played a lot of tennis. It\u2019s been a tough time with injuries over the last almost a year now.<\/p>\n \u201cTo know, going in, that you\u2019re expected by pretty much everyone to be playing well probably adds another layer to it but I haven\u2019t quite decided which way I\u2019m leaning there yet.\u201d<\/p>\n READ NEXT: ATP Rankings: Points being dropped by Sinner, Alcaraz, Zverev, Djokovic during grass-court season<\/a> The post Jack Draper\u2019s first tournament with Andy Murray as coach confirmed as fresh setback\u00a0revealed<\/a> appeared first on Tennis365<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Jack Draper has given an update on his recovery from injury as he shared the concerning news that he has delayed his grass-court comeback once again.
