Britain’s Jack Draper to miss French Open with knee injury in latest setback

• Former world No 4’s knee problem follows arm injury

• Draper says it is ‘gutting’ to miss Roland Garros

Britain’s Jack Draper has been ruled out of the French Open with a knee injury. It is another blow in the former world No 4’s attempts to re-establish himself following the long-term arm injury that ruled him out for the best part of eight months.

Draper has managed just nine matches across five events since returning in February and retired during his first-round clash with Tomás Martín Etcheverry at the Barcelona Open earlier this month.
