Cameron Norrie Surpasses Jack Draper's 2025 British Record
Cameron Norrie began his Metz Open campaign with a hard-fought victory on Monday. He defeated French player Valentin Royer with a score of 6-3, 6-7, 6-3, marking his 31st ATP Tour win of 2025.
Earlier this year, Norrie stunned world-class player Carlos Alcaraz at the Paris Masters and received a supportive message from the Spaniard after the match. Despite this high, Norrie later lost to Shanghai Masters champion Valentin Vacherot, who left the tournament in the quarter-finals.
Jack Draper's 2025 Season and Ranking Decline
Jack Draper began 2025 strongly, reaching world number four in June after winning Indian Wells and finishing as a finalist at the Madrid Open. However, his momentum stalled due to persistent left arm problems that sidelined him from Wimbledon through the US Open and forced him to withdraw from the remainder of the ATP Tour for 2025.
"Draper picked up his 30th and final ATP Tour victory of 2025 when he defeated Federico Gomez in the US Open first round."
As a result, Draper has dropped to world number 11, opening the door for Norrie to set a new British record for the year.
Summary
Cameron Norrie's consistent performance in 2025, highlighted by his recent Metz Open victory, has helped him overtake Jack Draper to hold the highest number of ATP Tour wins among British players this season.
