Jack Draper was forced to withdraw during the third set of his round of 16 match at the 2025 Australian Open against Carlos Alcaraz. The Brit had played three five-set matches, which eventually took a toll on him: "My body was already exhausted after the last match I played. Today, from the first two games, I realized things were getting worse. I have tendinitis in my hip, an area with a long history for me. It started affecting my back during the preseason, and I couldn't even walk, it was very challenging. I have been amazed at how much I've been able to play; I had hardly any preparation."
