ATP & WTA Finals
Which British players are in contention for the 2025 ATP & WTA Finals?
As we enter the final quarter of the ATP and WTA seasons, we inch closer not only to the US Open but to the Tour Finals in November.
The Nitto ATP and WTA Finals are the end of season tournaments for the very best players from the calendar year.
The top eight ranked singles players and best eight doubles pairs from 2025 will qualify for the prestigious events and there are several British players still in contention.
This year’s Nitto ATP Finals will take place in Turin, Italy from 9-16 November while the WTA Finals are set for Riyadh, Saudi Arabia from 1-8 November.
Here, we break down which British players have qualified already or are in with a chance of making it this season:
Jack Draper
Currently fifth in the ATP’s Race to Turin, Draper is looking to become the first British singles player to feature at the Finals since Cam Norrie in 2021.
Coming off the back of his semi-final run at the US Open last year, Draper has so far gone on to have a career-best season, breaking into the world’s top five for the first time.
Since the start of 2025, Draper has won his first ATP Masters 1000 title in Indian Wells, made finals at the Madrid Open and Doha, semi-finals at the HSBC Championships and enjoyed fourth round runs at the Australian Open and Roland Garros.
With the US hard court swing underway before the tour then heads to Asia, Draper will be hoping to hold his position despite the outside challenge from Ben Shelton, Casper Ruud, Alejandro Davidovich Fokina and Alexander Bublik – currently sitting in 9th-12th in the race.
The Brit is currently recovering from injury and will make a return at the US Open at the end of August.
Julian Cash and Lloyd Glasspool
The No.1 ranked doubles pair this season – the partnership of Cash and Glasspool has hit new heights in 2025.
Having joined forces at the end of last year, the Brits have gone from strength-to-strength winning five titles this year alone so far.
They got their season off to a flyer with title runs in Brisbane and Doha, as well as reaching finals at the Miami Open and Monte-Carlo Masters – but it was on the grass that the duo caught fire.
The all-British pair went 17-1 on the grass, following up a final in Stuttgart with titles at the HSBC Championships, Lexus Eastbourne Open and finally, their first Grand Slam at Wimbledon. They are the first British pair to win the Wimbledon title in 89 years.
Currently leading the charge in the Race, Cash and Glasspool are aiming to make their debut at the Finals together.
Henry Patten
Last year’s Wimbledon champions and Nitto ATP Finals semi-finalists Patten and Harri Heliovaara have backed up their breakthrough 2024 season with another outstanding year so far.
Third in the Race at the time of writing, Patten and Heliovaara are the reigning Australian Open champions – bagging their second Grand Slam title earlier in the year with a 6-7(16), 7-6(5), 6-3 win over Simone Bolelli and Andrea Vavassori in the final.
Elsewhere, it’s been an extremely solid season for the British, Finnish team – making the final in Dubai, eight ATP semi-finals including Masters 1000 events in Miami, Monte-Carlo and Rome, as well as quarter-finals at Roland Garros and Wimbledon.
Aiming to return for a second successive year, should they have a good hard court season, Patten and Heliovaara will be serious contenders in Turin.
Olivia Nicholls
Currently sitting at 11th in the WTA Doubles Race, British No.1 Nicholls is still in with a decent chance of making her Finals debut with partner Tereza Mihalikova this season.
Nicholls has made new strides this year with a number of impressive performances and also rising inside the world’s top 25 for the first time.
The duo has won one title together this year at the WTA 500 Berlin Open – the biggest title of Nicholls’ career so far.
Back in March, the pair also put together a stunning run in Indian Wells to reach their first-ever WTA 1000 final at Indian Wells.
As things stand, they are just over 300 points behind Gabriela Dabrowski and Erin Routliffe in eighth place with plenty of tennis still to play.
Joe Salisbury and Neal Skupski
No players on this list have more experience of the Nitto ATP Finals than Salisbury and Skupski, who partnered up at the start of this season.
Salisbury is a two-time ATP Finals champion with American Rajeev Ram, while fellow former world No.1 Skupski made the semi-finals in 2022.
The Lexus GB Davis Cup doubles duo have been in strong form of late, which has seen them rise to sixth in the Race.
The Brits reached the final of Roland Garros for the first time in their careers in addition to runners-up finishes in Doha and Barcelona, semi-finals in Rome, Hamburg and Eastbourne, and a quarter-final run at Wimbledon.
They will need to watch out for Hugo Nys and Edouard Roger-Vasselin, as well as Sadio Doumbia and Fabien Reboul in 9th and 10th place currently but the Brits have a healthy 700+ point gap at the moment.
Other notable mentions
While this year’s Finals could be just out of reach, a special shout out as well must go to Luke Johnson and Emma Raducanu.
Johnson is amongst the strong British challenge in the men’s Doubles Race this year with Sander Arends, currently sitting in 11th place – 1,200 points off the eighth qualifying spot.
The 31-year-old broke into the top 30 this season with two ATP titles in Barcelona and Hong Kong.
Meanwhile, Raducanu is in 25th at the moment but continues to get better as the season goes along – now in arguably her favourite part of the calendar.
The 22-year-old recently made the semi-finals for the WTA 500 in Washington and has also reached the quarter-finals of the Miami Open and HSBC Championships this year.
