Cameron Norrie Breaks British Record in 2025
Cameron Norrie advanced his 2025 season by winning his first match at the Metz Open on Monday. He defeated French player Valentin Royer in a tough three-set match, 6-3, 6-7, 6-3.
Earlier in the year, Norrie made headlines by stunning Carlos Alcaraz at the Paris Masters. Alcaraz sent him a warm message after their match. However, Norrie was later defeated by Valentin Vacherot, the Shanghai Masters champion, who exited the tournament in the quarter-finals.
Norrie’s 2025 Season Milestone
With the victory over Royer, Norrie secured his 31st ATP Tour win of 2025, surpassing the previous British record held by Jack Draper.
Jack Draper’s Ranking Decline in 2025
- Jack Draper rose rapidly in ATP rankings early in 2025 after winning Indian Wells and reaching the Madrid Open final.
- He climbed to world number four in June.
- Due to a left arm injury, Draper was forced to miss competition between Wimbledon and the US Open and withdrew from the rest of the ATP Tour for 2025.
- His ranking dropped to world number 11.
- Draper’s last ATP Tour win of 2025 was defeating Federico Gomez in the US Open first round.
"Draper picked up his 30th and final ATP Tour victory of 2025 when he defeated Federico Gomez in the US Open first round."
This series of events has allowed Norrie to claim the British record for most ATP Tour wins in 2025, overtaking Draper’s previous mark.
