Jack Draper's 2025 Year and Ranking Decline
Jack Draper, who started 2025 strongly by winning Indian Wells and reaching the Madrid Open final, rose to world number four in June. However, his ranking dropped to number 11 after long absences due to injury.
"Draper did not compete between Wimbledon and the US Open due to a left arm issue, which also caused him to withdraw from the US Open and miss the rest of the ATP Tour in 2025."
Draper’s 30th and last ATP Tour win of the year came at the US Open first round against Federico Gomez.
Summary
Cameron Norrie has overtaken Jack Draper in ATP Tour wins for 2025, capitalizing on Draper's injury struggles to establish himself as Britain's top performer this year.
