Jack Draper is enduring another hugely frustrating season on the ATP Tour.
Draper has been limited to just nine matches in 2026 so far, from which the 24-year-old holds a 5-4 win-loss record.
The Briton has decided to bring tennis legend Andy Murray onto his coaching team for the grass-court swing, but he’s yet to play on the surface.
Draper last featured on the Barcelona clay in April, but was forced to retire from his opening match because of injury.
He has since been ruled out of Madrid, Rome, Hamburg, Roland Garros and Queen’s, with his ongoing absence now resulting in a brutal ATP rankings drop.
How concerned are you that injuries could disrupt Jack Draper from reaching his full potential?
Jack Draper suffers brutal ATP rankings drop
Perhaps unsurprisingly, Draper no longer holds British number one status, having fallen behind both Cameron Norrie and Jan Choinski into third.
But much more concerning, he has just dropped a huge 37 places in the ATP rankings, and is now ranked all the way down in 112th place.
The significant update follows his absence from the French Open, for which he has just lost 200 ranking points.
It’s a massive difference from his career-high rank of world number four, which he reached only last summer.
Where will Jack Draper be ranked at the end of 2026?
Will he return to the top 10 or are you predicting him to drop down?
Jack Draper to continue roller-coaster season at Eastbourne
Fortunately, three-time ATP champion Draper did issue a positive update when his official withdrawal from Queen’s was confirmed.
The Briton plans to return to action at Eastbourne, the ATP 250 tournament that takes place immediately before Wimbledon.
It’s been a truly roller-coaster campaign for Draper, who has managed to showcase his clear ability and potential despite his injury struggles.
He’s posted a positive win-loss record in his 2026 season, which includes knocking 24-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic out of Indian Wells.
Draper has been no stranger to such results throughout his injury-hit career, which should blossom into great success if he can consistently stay fit, something he has failed to do thus far.
