Injury Record
A bone bruise in his left arm forced him out from the 2025 US Open onwards, costing him the end of 2025 and the start of 2026, including the Australian Open. He returned in February 2026 and reached the Indian Wells quarterfinals, but aggravated a knee tendon at the Barcelona Open in April. That ruled him out of the clay season, the French Open and Wimbledon, and he later withdrew from the Washington DC Open.
Playing Style, Coaches and Team
Draper is a 1.93 m left hander with an aggressive first strike game. His serve is awkward for opponents because of the left handed angles, and an improved forehand was key to his 2025 breakthrough. His long time coach is James Trotman. In May 2026 Sir Andy Murray joined for the grass court swing, and Trotman returned alongside him soon after. Earlier he worked with Jamie Delgado and Wayne Ferreira. His support staff includes physiotherapist Shane Annun, trainer Matt Little and coaching assistant Alex Ward.
