Cameron Norrie Surpasses Jack Draper's 2025 British ATP Record
Cameron Norrie started his Metz Open campaign with a win on Monday, defeating French player Valentin Royer. After recently shocking Carlos Alcaraz at the Paris Masters, Norrie received a supportive message from the Spanish star following their match.
Despite being defeated by Shanghai Masters champion Valentin Vacherot, who later exited at the quarter-finals, Norrie showed resilience. On Monday, he overcame a tough challenge against world number 56 Royer, winning 6-3, 6-7, 6-3.
This victory marked Norrie's 31st ATP Tour win of 2025, allowing him to surpass Jack Draper's British record for the year.
Jack Draper's 2025 Season and Ranking Decline
- Jack Draper had a strong start in 2025, jumping the ATP rankings after winning Indian Wells and reaching the Madrid Open final.
- He reached a career-high world number 4 in June.
- Since then, Draper dropped to world number 11 due to extended injury-related absences.
- He did not compete between Wimbledon and the US Open because of a left arm injury, which also caused his withdrawal from the US Open and the remainder of the ATP Tour schedule for 2025.
- Draper’s 30th and last ATP Tour win of 2025 came with a first-round victory over Federico Gomez at the US Open.
"Draper picked up his 30th and final ATP Tour victory of 2025 when he defeated Federico Gomez in the US Open first round."
With consistent play and overcoming challenges, Norrie has now set a new British benchmark for wins in a single ATP season.
Summary: Cameron Norrie has overtaken Jack Draper’s 2025 British record by claiming his 31st ATP Tour win, while Draper’s season was curtailed by injury, halting his rise in the rankings.
