Cameron Norrie started his Metz Open campaign with a win on Monday, defeating French player Valentin Royer. The Brit survived a challenging match, winning 6-3, 6-7, 6-3 against the world number 56.
Earlier in the year, Norrie impressed by defeating Carlos Alcaraz at the Paris Masters, receiving a heartfelt message from Alcaraz after the match. However, Norrie's run was halted by Shanghai Masters champion Valentin Vacherot, who exited the tournament at the quarter-final stage.
British number one Jack Draper made a remarkable climb early in 2025, reaching world number four after winning Indian Wells and finishing runner-up at the Madrid Open. However, injuries severely impacted his season.
"With victory against Royer, Norrie notched his 31st ATP Tour win of 2025."
"The 23-year-old did not compete between Wimbledon and the US Open due to a left arm issue, which forced him to withdraw from the rest of the 2025 ATP Tour."
Despite Draper's early season success, Norrie's consistent performance has now set a new British benchmark for 2025.
Summary: Cameron Norrie has overtaken Jack Draper’s British record for ATP Tour wins in 2025, capitalizing on Draper’s injury struggles to reach 31 victories this year.
