    Hello!

    Jack Draper is back. His ranking has slipped
    to #160. However, I am pretty sure he will
    get a wild card entry to Wimbledon. It will
    be interesting to see how he plays there!

    He got in the main draw somehow even though he
    did not get a wild card entry. We can expect a
    good match, it will be Jack Draper against
    Taylor Fritz in the first round. Draper leads
    head-to-head 3-2, but he has been away for quite
    a while.

    I sure hope Draper will win. Go Jack! Hahah!

    The match was cancelled. According to chatGPT,
    Draper retired before any balls were struck.
    The reason was that his arm injury reoccurred.

    Too bad as Draper is a very talented player.
