Jack Draper lost 6-3 7-5 to Spain’s Martin Landaluce in the first round of the Cincinnati Open, despite leading 5-2 in the second set and holding six set points. The defeat is another setback for the British player as he attempts to rebuild form and confidence after a long period affected by arm and shoulder problems.

Draper, 24, made 47 unforced errors and 12 double faults against the world number 64, having played only his second match since June. Once ranked as high as fourth, he has fallen as low as 160th during an injury-hit year; he is now ranked 143rd and has sought specialist biomechanical advice to address the recurring issues.
