Jack Draper has withdrawn from the Dubai Tennis Championships to “manage” his workload.<\/b><\/p>\n

Draper, 23, announced the decision to miss the tournament, which starts on Monday, a day after losing to Andrey Rublev in three sets<\/a> in the final of the Qatar Open in Doha.<\/p>\n

Britain’s number one, who is set to rise to 12th in the world rankings, has said he will return for the BNP Paribas Open and Miami Open next month.<\/p>\n

Draper posted on X: “Unfortunately, I have made the decision to withdraw from Dubai Duty Free.<\/p>\n

“After a great week at Qatar Open Tennis, I’m taking on board advice to prioritise my recovery and manage my body after a number of long matches, and give myself the best chance of competing consistently throughout the year.<\/p>\n

“I’m gutted not to compete at such an amazing event but will look forward to returning to competition at BNP Paribas Open and Miami Open.”<\/p>\n

Britain’s number five Dan Evans has been given a wildcard entry into the singles competition and will face Karen Khachanov in Monday’s first round.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
