British number three Jack Draper will not play at Queen’s next week after delaying his comeback from injury by at least another week.
Draper, a semi-finalist in London last year, has not competed since retiring from his only clay-court match of the season in Barcelona on 13 April because of a tendon issue in his right knee.
“Recovery is going in the right direction, but I’m going to give myself one more week and aim to return at Eastbourne,” said the 24-year-old.
“It’s very hard to miss one of my favourite events of the year.”
The women’s tournament at Queens, which began on Monday, ends on Sunday, and the men’s gets under way the following day.
The Eastbourne Open runs from 22-27 June and Wimbledon starts on 29 June.
