Under Trotman, Draper won three ATP Tour titles, including the Indian Wells Masters, and reached the US Open semi-finals in 2024.
Current ranking
Draper is currently world No 10 in the ATP singles rankings, sitting ahead of Novak Djokovic in the list noted here. After withdrawing from the remainder of the season, he will not be able to make a push for a debut at the Nitto ATP Finals this year.

Season highlights and context
Draper’s Indian Wells victory included a notable win over Carlos Alcaraz. He missed the Miami follow-up and had mixed results on clay, with a Madrid final and a French Open fourth-round exit. Grass season showed promise at Queen’s but another early Wimbledon exit continued his search for success at the All England Club. His US Open singles campaign was cut short by an arm injury after also making the mixed doubles semi-finals.
