Jack Draper, the British tennis player and world number five, continues his fight at the US Open, despite issues with his arm. The athlete arrived in New York without having played a match for over six weeks due to an injury to his left shoulder.

In the first round, Draper defeated Argentine Federico Gomez in four sets. After the match, he acknowledged that he had concerns about his participation in the tournament due to a prolonged rehabilitation. He noted that his preparation for the tournament is a key issue, rather than the grass.

"My arm is not a problem for me," Draper said. He emphasized that it is important for him to return to playing on hard courts, as he did at the beginning of the year.

In the second round, he awaits a match against Belgian Zizou Bergs, who is also looking to improve his game following a less than stellar performance in recent months. Draper has already defeated Bergs at Wimbledon three years ago, which creates a positive mood ahead of their upcoming encounter.

Aside from physical issues, Draper is also dealing with nervous tension in big matches. During his first round, he felt a pang of nostalgia, reminding him of past difficulties on the court. He admitted that this could be related to his fatigue and stress.

Draper noted that he needs to work on his psychological state, as this is an important part of his preparation for matches. He believes that he is managing stress, but recognizes that at times it can affect his physical condition during play.
