Such a pity.

Jack's clearly had his injury issues in the past. But with his doubles entry here, I assume he had been feeling in a pretty good place physically.

QF:  Ugo Humbert (FRA) WR 19 (CH = 13 in April) vs Jack Draper WR 20 by 7-5 2-1* (0-30) retured

So apparently ended during a service games Jack was leading. Anyone see?

  No, but it would be good to know what the problem is/was.

An issue in the abdominal area, according to the Beeb.

SF: Julian Cash & Lloyd Glasspool CR 81 (38+43) vs Alex Michelsen & Alejandro Tabilo (USA/CHI) CR 268 (118+150)

 I saw the first set problem - which was (as reported above) a rib/intercostal muscle/abdominal muscle problem, on his right-hand side. 

He had the physio on but it was definitely hindering his serve

I didn't see the second set (as I was pretty sure he was going to retire/lose) so - just possible - he picked up a new injury which is why he actually retired but 99% sure it was the same issue as in the first set

A bit more detail from Stu Fraser.  Telling paragraph:

This is the seventh retirement of Draper's career on the ATP Tour and his first for seven months. The 22-year-old has struggled with physical issues in recent years, but has largely been injury-free this season during his rise up the rankings.

Cash and Galloway go head to head! With the China Open guaranteed a finalist also, this is proving a successful couple of 500 events for British doubles

 They split, basically. They just hadnt done anything of note in slams etc and so went separate ways.

Brilliant!
