Jack Draper’s stock continues to rise with the British No 1 competing for – and winning – some of the biggest titles in men’s tennis.
Where is Jack Draper playing next?
Draper has yet to make it beyond the second round of Wimbledon, but the world No 4 is eyeing an even bigger prize at the All England Club.
He dispatched Sebastian Baez 6-2 6-2 2-1 before his opponent retired injured and next faces 2017 finalist Marin Cilic for a spot in the third round where either world No 58 Fabian Marozsan or Spanish world No 55 Jaume Munar will be waiting.
Further ahead, he will return to Flushing Meadows, live on Sky Sports, for the US Open from August 24-September 7.
Draper reached the semi-finals in New York in 2024 before losing to eventual champion Jannik Sinner.
What is Draper’s current ranking?
Draper currently sits fourth in the ATP singles rankings, ahead of Taylor Fritz and 24-time major winner Novak Djokovic.
He is seeded fourth at Wimbledon meaning he will avoid world No 1 Jannik Sinner and reigning champion Carlos Alcaraz until the semi-finals.
How has Draper done in 2025 so far?
Draper’s breakthrough victory at Indian Wells included a win over Carlos Alcaraz but he was unable to complete the Sunshine Double after defeat in his opening match in Miami to Jakub Mensik.
A three-set loss to Spain’s Alejandro Davidovich Fokina ended Draper’s first tournament of the clay-court season – the Monte-Carlo Masters – at the last-16 stage.
He bounced back in style in Madrid as he became only the second Brit after Andy Murray to make the final of that tournament and showed that he is now a threat on all surfaces.
But the 23-year-old missed out on a second Masters 1000 title as he lost to Casper Ruud after three gruelling sets.
However, it was a highly impressive tournament for him as he usurped Novak Djokovic in the world rankings and hit the top five for the first time.
He went on to reach the quarter-finals of the Italian Open, losing to Carlos Alcaraz in straight sets, but his promising clay campaign was ended by Alexander Bublik in the fourth round of the French Open.
At Queen’s Club he reached the semi-finals where he went down to defeat against Czech Jiri Lehecka after which he revealed he was struggling with tonsillitis.
Earlier in the year, Draper lost to Andrey Rublev in the Qatar Open final after retiring against Alcaraz in the last 16 at the Australian Open, having seen his start to the season delayed by a hip issue.
In 2024, he claimed his first two ATP titles, on the grass in Stuttgart and then on the hard courts in Vienna, while he reached a final in Adelaide at the start of the year.
