June 21 (Reuters) - Jack Draper ⁠believes he has found the ideal guide to ⁠help him through his return from injury in ‌new coach Andy Murray, saying the former world number one's own injury-marred career makes him uniquely qualified to help.

Briton Draper, who reached ​a career-high ranking of number four ⁠in 2025, has not ⁠played since April and is set to make his return ⁠in ‌Eastbourne on Monday after withdrawing from the Queen's Club tournament.

The 24-year-old added Murray to his ⁠team last month and said the two-time Wimbledon ​champion had ‌given him "amazing support" as he worked his way back ⁠to fitness.

"Andy ​obviously has been through so much in his career – many setbacks, many injuries, many adversities, but he always came ⁠through them," Draper said in an ​interview published on the Lawn Tennis Association's website on Saturday.

"He was incredibly good at coming back and showing what he’s ⁠all about.

"Having him in my corner has been great from that aspect as well. It’s nice that he believes in my tennis and it’s about the progress."

Draper ​will face American fifth seed Brandon ⁠Nakashima in his opening match at Eastbourne, a warm-up tournament ​ahead of Wimbledon. The third Grand ‌Slam event of the year ​runs from June 29 to July 12.
