Jack Draper described his hip injury as a "ticking time bomb" and admitted he will likely have to manage it for the rest of his career.

Jack Draper has pulled out of the Australian Open after losing the first two sets to Carlos Alcaraz in their fourth-round match on Sunday. The British No.1 had suffered a hip injury before Christmas to prevent playing any warm-up events. And the No.15 seed reached the fourth round here by winning three five-set epic matches.

Jack Draper described his hip problem as a “ticking time bomb” after limping out of his Australian Open fourth-round clash with Carlos Alcaraz.
