Jack Draper, a 23-year-old Briton, is one of the biggest talents in the world of tennis. However, he is currently going through difficulties faced by equally great talents in the history of this sport. The British tennis player will miss several tournaments with significant prize money due to the injury.
The loss to Marin ili was an opportunity for Draper to reveal the problems with his hand pain, which had been a serious barrier for him.
Playing in the US Open, Draper had a strong ambition, but had to withdraw from the tournament due to a hand injury.Although it is frustrating to encounter the same things month after month, the Briton had to accept his fate, aware that he could not change much.
In an interview with the media, the young tennis player pointed out how difficult it is to accept such outcomes, but in order to achieve success, it is sometimes important to face difficulties and believe in your comeback.

The popular tennis player had some great performances this season and it looked like he could reach the very top. However, since he won't be playing until the end of the year, he will lose a lot of points and will likely be dropped from the top 10 ATP list by the end of the year.
Financial loss
Some believe the financial loss will be even greater, as Draper will not be playing at the Six Kings Slam in Saudi Arabia, a tournament with a prize pool of as much as $6 million, as well as a $1.5 million fee.
The young tennis player will also not participate in the Asian round of the ATP Tour and indoor tournaments, which is an additional financial blow.
However, fans of the popular tennis player hope that Draper will regain his form next year, reappear on the tennis courts and be a dominant figure as before.
