Cameron Norrie Surpasses Jack Draper’s 2025 British Record
Cameron Norrie kicked off his Metz Open campaign with a strong start on Monday, securing victory in his opening match against French player Valentin Royer. The British tennis star prevailed after a tight three-set battle, winning 6-3, 6-7, 6-3.
Earlier this season, Norrie captured attention by defeating Carlos Alcaraz at the Paris Masters. Following that upset, Alcaraz sent him a heartfelt message commending his performance. Norrie later lost to Shanghai Masters champion Valentin Vacherot, who himself exited in the quarterfinals.
With his win over Royer, Norrie reached his 31st ATP Tour triumph of 2025, surpassing fellow Brit Jack Draper’s season record.
Jack Draper’s Interrupted Season
Jack Draper rose rapidly in the rankings earlier this year after his Indian Wells victory and a finals appearance at the Madrid Open. By June, he had climbed to world number four, but injuries soon derailed his momentum.
The 23-year-old was forced to miss tournaments between Wimbledon and the US Open due to a left arm problem. This same injury led to his withdrawal from the US Open and kept him out for the remainder of 2025. Before his season ended, Draper recorded his 30th and final win by defeating Federico Gomez in the opening round of the US Open.
“With victory against Royer, Norrie notched his 31st ATP Tour win of 2025.”
Summary
Norrie’s latest triumph in Metz not only extends his successful season but also places him ahead of Jack Draper as Britain’s top ATP performer of 2025.
Author’s summary: Cameron Norrie’s victory at the Metz Open earned him his 31st win of 2025, edging past Jack Draper, whose injury-shortened season left him one win behind.
