Draper Determined to Regain Fitness Ahead of Davis Cup.

Jack Draper is preparing to join the Great Britain Davis Cup team on Tuesday and says he's "working hard to get fit" after picking up a minor injury at the US Open.

Jack Draper, 22, lost a tough US Open quarter-final to Jannik Sinner on Friday. Despite a short recovery time, Draper is set to join the Great Britain Davis Cup team in Manchester on Tuesday, with hopes of being fit for their opening match against Finland on Wednesday.

“Jack and his team are working hard on his fitness, and Leon [Smith] will consider this when finalizing the team selection,” said a spokesperson.

Great Britain will face Finland on Wednesday, followed by Argentina on Friday and 2022 champions Canada on Sunday in Group D. 

Henry Patten has replaced Joe Salisbury in the five-man squad.
