Jack Draper insists he is “still improving” as he prepares to return from a long-term injury absence this week in Britain’s Davis Cup qualifier against Norway in Oslo.

The 24-year-old has not played since withdrawing from the US Open last August following his first-round match with an arm injury.

Draper enjoyed the best year of his career in 2025 before the injury, climbing to fourth in the world rankings and winning the Indian Wells title.

He returns on Thursday against a Norway side which may include three-time Grand Slam runner-up Casper Ruud.
