Overview
- Jack Draper marked his comeback with a 6-2, 6-2 Davis Cup win over Viktor Durasovic in Oslo after roughly 164 days out.
- Great Britain finished a 4-0 victory over Norway, and captain Leon Smith said Draper was always scheduled to play only once with no new niggle.
- Draper pulled out of next week’s Rotterdam Open, saying he has been advised not to jump into potential back-to-back matches.
- His team is eyeing Dubai, Miami and a title defence at Indian Wells as tentative next steps, contingent on ongoing load management.
- Draper attributes last year’s breakdown partly to pushing to match Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner, and he says the left-arm bone-stress injury requires careful progression.
