Jack Draper will make big changes to his team, working with Andy Murray’s former coach Jamie Delgado.
The British number one has a long-standing partnership with James Trotman and he remains heavily involved, but Delgado will take over as lead coach and travel to the majority of tournaments with Draper.
Delgado, a former British Davis Cup player who held the men’s record for consecutive Wimbledon appearances with 23, began working with Murray in 2016. The first was alongside Ivan Lendl, when the Scot enjoyed the most successful period of his career.
Delgado remained with Murray’s team until the end of the 2021 season and has since coached Denis Shapovalov and Grigor Dimitrov.
Both players praise the influence of the 48-year-old Delgado and with Trotman keen to spend more time at home, Draper moved to secure his services after his long-standing partnership with Dimitrov ended last month.
The arrangement began in pre-season, with Draper currently battling to recover from a left arm problem that has limited him to just one match since Wimbledon.
Following his second exit at the All England Club, Draper was diagnosed with Bone Bruising and his attempt to return at the US Open ended with him pulling out before the second round before calling early in the season.
This ended the 23-year-old’s hopes of appearing in the ATP Finals for the first time.
He is scheduled to return to the court at the Ultimate Tennis Showdown Grand Final in London in December.
