Jack Draper Makes History, Enters ATP Top 5 After Madrid Open Thrashing Tommy Paul

Jack Draper has soared into the ATP Top 5 for the first time, surpassing Novak Djokovic after a commanding 6 2, 6 2 victory over Tommy Paul in the Madrid Open quarter finals on May 1, 2025. At 23, the British star’s ascent from world No. 42 a year ago to No. 5 is remarkable. 

His powerful left handed game and newfound confidence on clay, where he had never won three consecutive ATP matches before, signal his arrival as a top tier talent. Draper’s breakout 2024 season included his maiden ATP Masters 1000 title at Indian Wells and a US Open semi final run, showcasing his ability to compete with the best.

Draper’s aggressive style, blending baseline dominance with improved serve and movement, has made him a serious threat. 

As the clay season progresses, he is well positioned to challenge for deeper runs, potentially at Roland Garros. His rapid rise reflects years of hard work, overcoming injuries, and honing his craft. British tennis fans are buzzing, with Draper leading a new wave alongside players like Cameron Norrie. On the other side, Djokovic’s slide raises questions about his form, though his experience and resilience make a comeback plausible.

 For now, Draper’s moment shines brightest, and his trajectory suggests he could climb even higher. With the tennis world watching, the young Brit is ready to seize this opportunity and make his mark.
