Which British players will be competing in the Intesa Sanpaolo Next Gen ATP Finals 2022?
Jack Draper became the first Briton to ever qualify for the Next Gen ATP Finals earlier with a win over Jenson Brooksby in the opening round in Antwerp.
Draper – who is supported by our Pro Scholarship Programme – broke into the ATP top 50 for the first time earlier this year and is now up to a career-high at world No.45, following a breakout season in 2022.
He kick-started the year with four ATP Challenger titles in the first quarter of the season – a new record – before taking his talents to the ATP Tour, where he has continued to flourish. A semi-final run at the Rothesay International Eastbourne signalled his arrival on the main stage and he has since gone on to reach his first Masters quarter-final in Montreal, as well as progressing to the third round at the US Open.
