Does anyone know is Jack Draper playing the French Open ?

I cant see confirmation of that .

I've seen somewhere he has a minor leg strain but should be back for the grass court season.

Edit

Here is where I saw it.

 Hi Nico - you may have said elsewhere, are you an English guy living in France, or a French person with an interest in English tennis? Are you hoping / trying to get along to watch the action at RG, or maybe this week at Lyon or Strasbourg?

 Hi Jon 

Im a Brit , used to be living in France full time  , now I split my time between there and the UK . I havent managed to get to RG yet unfortunately . I was considering perhaps going over for a few days if I can arrange that with friends here . Its easier to get tickets for RG than Wimbledon . I have been to that many times , both queuing and lucky to get centre court and no 1 court tickets. I love Wimbledon and used to always take work holidays during the two weeks as I couldnt bear to miss any of it .

 That sounds idyllic, very jealous of that lifestyle!! I am sure you and CD will have a lot to talk about!

Which part of France are you in? It is a lovely country, such an interesting range and mix of cities and cultures. Sadly not been for a few years, mental note to self!

 Dept 64. Not too far from Lourdes close to the border with dept 65 .  Though thinking of a change towards the Morbihan.  Yes its a beautiful country though bad for my waistline !

Nico, maybe you should talk to Bob too - he's been very successfully working on restructuring his waistline (in a good way) for a while now smile
