Stricker was in the top 100 23/24 - made the 4th round of the US Open as a qualifier in 2023 and notched up two top 10 wins that year. Has he been injured since? That's a huge drop.

 He won junior grand slams too - touted very much as the next Roger Federer 

But, yes, was plagued with injuries - and then seems to be having trouble getting back to where he was 

(was out for ages with a lower back problem, and then tore ligaments in his knee, I think) 

NB When the British journalists keep twittering on about all the injuries the GB players are suffering from, they might want to look at other potentially top players with serious injury concerns too

Russell Fuller made that very point in the article to which I posted a link on the Rome Masters thread - relevant extract:

It is not, of course, an exclusively British problem.

Carlos Alcaraz will not defend his French Open title because of a wrist injury, while world number seven Taylor Fritz has been resting and rehabbing a long-term knee problem since March.

 And Wimbledont has started a specific thread on it linked to that article and topic, also

 Yes

And these are just the high-proilfe top names

To which you could add Holger Rune (out for the foreseeable future, I believe, with his ruptured achilles tendon), Qinwen now back following elbow surgery etc. etc. etc. 

I was talking more about the 'could-be' top players, whom no one in the tennis press really follows

Katie Swan would count on the GB side

But on the other side, you have Stricker as above

You have Ana Mintegi del Omo - won Wimbledon Juniors a few years back and had been out for ages and ages with injuries 

You have the Fruhitova sisters - top young stars and then both, particularly Brenda, struck down with injury

And tons more
