British number one Jack Draper will not play in next month's Australian Open because of an ongoing arm injury.

The 24-year-old has played just one singles match since Wimbledon in the summer but was hoping to return to the tour in time for the first Grand Slam of the year in Melbourne.

But in a video posted on X, Draper said the injury, which ended his 2025 campaign early, is one of the most "challenging" and "complex" of his career.

"Unfortunately, me and my team have decided not to head out to Australia this year," he said.
