British number one Jack Draper will miss the first event of the 2025 season with a hip injury but is "very positive" about competing at the Australian Open.

The 22-year-old cancelled a training camp with four-time major champion Carlos Alcaraz in Spain this week because of a "little bit of a niggle".

Draper says he has now been advised not to play for Great Britain in the United Cup team competition - starting against Argentina in Sydney on 30 December - and will also sit out the Davis Cup tie in Japan in late January.
