Britain’s Jack Draper makes his long-awaited return to action at the National Bank Open in Montreal after a challenging summer marred by injuries. The 24-year-old has received a wildcard entry and is set to face Terence Atmane in the first round, eager to turn the page on a difficult year.

Draper’s world ranking has plummeted from a career-high No. 4 to No. 147 due to a series of setbacks, including a significant injury to his serving arm that forced him out of Wimbledon. His last competitive match ended in a straight sets defeat to Ugo Humbert in Eastbourne back in June, where he showcased promise but was ultimately sidelined again.

In a bid to regain his form, Draper has reconnected with Sir Andy Murray and aims to build confidence at this Masters 1000 tournament. He previously withdrew from the DC Open to prioritize his recovery.

Match Details:

• Opponent: Terence Atmane
• Date: Tuesday, 4 August
• Time: Expected around 7pm BST
