Jack Draper has officially withdrawn from the MGM Macau Tennis Masters, scheduled for December 27 and 28 in China. This marks his second withdrawal from exhibition events in recent weeks, following his absence from the UTS London Grand Final.
Concerns over physical condition
The repeated withdrawals have raised concerns about Draper’s physical condition as the new season approaches. His decision not to compete in Macau comes at a time when fans and analysts are questioning whether he will be fit enough to participate in the Australian swing of the tour.
Australian Open participation in doubt
With the Australian Open looming in January, Draper’s fitness remains uncertain. His absence from back-to-back exhibitions suggests that he is prioritizing recovery, but it leaves open the question of whether he will be ready to compete at the first Grand Slam of the year.
The young British player has shown flashes of brilliance on the ATP Tour, but injuries have repeatedly interrupted his progress. His team has yet to confirm his exact plans for Australia, leaving supporters waiting for clarity on whether he will step onto the courts in Melbourne.
