Norrie Returns as British No. 1 With Slim Lead Over Draper Ahead of Miami

A 43-point gap means the Miami Open could immediately return the top spot to Draper.

Overview

  • The latest ATP list places Norrie at world No. 24 and Draper at No. 26 after both reached the Indian Wells quarter-finals.
  • Draper surrendered 1,000 points from his 2025 title and slid 12 spots, while Norrie climbed five places on his own quarter-final run.
  • With almost no points to defend in Miami, Draper can reclaim British No. 1 by advancing at least one round further than Norrie.
  • Returning from an arm injury that sidelined him from September to February, Draper marked his comeback with a win over Novak Djokovic in Indian Wells.
  • Significant clay-court points to defend from last spring leave Draper under pressure to retain a top-32 ranking for French Open seeding.
