Jack Draper has announced that he will make his return from injury in the UTS London Grand Final.

The British number one has been sidelined since withdrawing from the US Open in August with an arm injury.

Draper will feature at the exhibition tournament, which will take place at the Copper Box Arena between December 5 and 7.

He believes playing in the competition will help him get back up to speed with his counterparts ahead of the 2026 season.

"I think I came back a bit too soon when I played the US Open, so after that I decided to really shut it down and look after it," Draper told UTS.

"And now I'm building up my confidence and building up my tennis to be at full throttle again.

"It's a chance to compete, also a chance to play the world's best players again. I think when you have time out the game, it's really important to sort of get on their speed again.

"Having the opportunity to play before the coming season is important, I think, and really importantly for me, playing in front of my home crowd, playing at the UTS in London, playing at the Copper Box Arena. I haven't played there before, so I'm looking forward to that."

The competition features two round robin groups, with Alex De Minaur, Andrey Rublev, Tomas Machac and Adrian Mannarino in Group A, while Casper Ruud, Francisco Cerundolo and David Goffin join Draper in Group B.

Each match will consist of eight-minute quarters, with the first player to win three quarters taking victory.

If a match is drawn 2-2, there will be a 'Sudden Death' decider, with the top two from each group reaching the semi-finals.
