Jack Draper & Taylor Fritz warn tennis chiefs and call for change after Holger Rune horror injury
Jack Draper and Taylor Fritz have both spoken out and expressed their concerns about the host of injuries suffered by players on the men’s tour in recent weeks.
Holger Rune has confirmed his Achilles is “fully broken” after being brought to tears having been forced to retire in his Stockholm Open semi-final against Ugo Humbert on Saturday.
Novak Djokovic retired due to injury after losing a marathon opening set in his third place playoff match with Fritz at the Six Kings Slam exhibition in Riyadh later that day.
Injuries and players struggling physically have been major themes on the ATP Tour since the Asian swing. Seven players were forced to retire mid-match at the Shanghai Masters earlier this month, while world No 1 Carlos Alcaraz was one 13 players to pull out before the event.
Draper, the current world No 9, cut his 2025 season short due to a bruised humerus injury that forced him to pull out of the US Open in late August.
In a post on X after Rune and Djokovic’s retirements, Draper called for changes to be made to the tour as he warned that young players will struggle to have long careers with the current calendar.
“Injuries are going to happen… we are pushing our bodies to do things they aren’t supposed to in elite sport,” said the 23-year-old Brit.
“We have so many incredible younger guys on the tour right now and I’m proud to be a part of that, however, the tour and the calendar have to adapt if any of us are gonna achieve some sort of longevity.”
Fritz, the world No 4, agreed with Draper and went on to argue that conditions are contributing to the increase in injuries.
“Facts, also seeing more injuries and burnout now than ever before because balls, courts, conditions have slowed down a lot making the weekly grind even more physically demanding and tough on the body,” the 27-year-old American said in reply to Draper.
Alcaraz is one of many players who has criticised the tennis schedule in recent months.
“I think that the schedule is really tight,” said the six-time Grand Slam champion during the Japan Open last month.
“They have to do something with the schedule. I think there are too many mandatory tournaments, too many in a row.”

Emma Raducanu’s ex-coach joins another player’s team months after quitting role
Emma Raducanu linked up with Yutaka Nakamura at the end of last year, but their partnership soon fizzled out.
Emma Raducanu’s former fitness trainer, Yutaka Nakamura, has officially started working with another player, this time on the men’s circuit. Raducanu announced that Nakamura had joined her team last December, and he was set to travel with her during “most weeks” of the season.
However, Nakamura has been absent from her box for most of the year, reportedly stepping back for personal reasons in the spring. Raducanu has since been working with other physios, including Daniel Pohl and Jerome Poupel. And Nakamura has now seemingly joined Grigor Dimitrov’s team, months after the Bulgarian’s heartbreaking injury retirement at Wimbledon.
Dimitrov led top seed and eventual champion Jannik Sinner by two sets to love in the fourth round of Wimbledon this summer when he suddenly went down in tears, picking up a pectoral injury.
The former world No. 3 received off-court treatment, but he was unable to continue and returned to the court to retire from the match. Dimitrov has since revealed that he spent two hours crying in the locker room, and he later shared a photo from the hospital.
During his injury layoff, Dimitrov’s team had a shake-up, and he parted ways with his coach, Jamie Delgado, who has since joined Jack Draper’s camp. The 34-year-old has now returned to competition at the Paris Masters with some new faces in his box.
One of them is Nakamura, who has a wealth of experience on the WTA Tour, also working with Maria Sharapova and Naomi Osaka, as well as Raducanu.
