Draper now working with Murray's former coach Delgado

When Jack Draper returns to the ATP Tour in 2026, the Briton's team will have a different feel.

The 23-year-old, who was forced to end his season after the US Open due to a left arm injury, has hired Andy Murray's former coach Jamie Delgado and will part ways with longtime coach James Trotman. The coach has decided to step away from his role to focus on his family life as a husband and father.

"My relationship with Jack is strong. We are extremely close," Trotman said in a BBC Sport article. "We spent more time with each other than anybody else on the planet over the past four years. We are going to stay incredibly close and obviously I'll be following and supporting in any way I can from the sidelines."

Trotman helped guide Draper to his first ATP Masters 1000 title in Indian Wells in March, with the British No. 1 reaching a career-high PIF ATP Ranking of No. 4 in June and posting a 30-9 record this season, according to the Infosys ATP Win/Loss Index. The pair won three tour-level titles together, including Stuttgart and Vienna last season.

"Whatever Jack does in the future, I feel incredibly proud of the work that I've done," Trotman said. "And where Jack is now is not just as a result of me, it's a result of everybody that's worked with Jack and his family from a young age."

Delgado most recently worked with Grigor Dimitrov for three years, with their partnership ending last month. He also coached Gilles Muller in addition to his time with Murray from 2016 to 2021.
