Patten became only the second British player to win the doubles event at the ATP Finals (Salisbury 2022 and 2023). 

Hewett, Reid and Lapthorne all took home runners-up medals at the 2025 Wheelchair Tennis Masters in Huzhou, China, as well. 

Draper’s Indian Wells triumph & doubles domination   

British No.1 Jack Draper was one of the standout stars during the first half of the season. After starting the year with a career-best fourth round run at the Australian Open – winning three matches in five sets – the British star went on to finish runner-up at the ATP 500 Doha, before turning his attention to Indian Wells. 

Known unofficially as the ‘fifth Grand Slam’, Indian Wells is one of the biggest prizes in the game and Draper went on to become only the second British player to lift the title in California. 

Draper beat Joao Fonseca, Jenson Brooksby, Taylor Fritz, Ben Shelton, Carlos Alcaraz and finally Holger Rune to get his hands on his first ATP Masters 1000 title. He’s only the fifth British player to achieve this, after Greg Rusedski, Tim Henman, Andy Murray and Cam Norrie. 

Draper also reached the final of the Madrid Open just a month later, but injuries after a semi-final run at the HSBC Championships put a hold on his second half of the season. 

Meanwhile, as well as the Wimbledon title, Cash and Glasspool won a total of seven ATP Tour-level titles this year, including the ATP Masters Canada. 

Patten and Heliovaara finished the season strong with their first ATP Masters 1000 title in Paris, as well as the ATP 500 Beijing.

It was also an impressive season for Britain’s Olivia Nicholls on the WTA Doubles Tour. Nicholls and Slovakian partner Tereza Mihalikova won their best title together on the grass courts at the WTA 500 Berlin

Nicholls and Mihalikova also made the final at Indian Wells – their first WTA 1000 final – and the British star reached a career-high world No.27.  

British doubles star Luke Johnson also added his second and third ATP titles in Hong Kong and Barcelona alongside regular partner Sander Arends. 

British success in the ITF Super Series 

ITF Super Series events are the biggest wheelchair tennis tournaments in the tour calendar outside of the Grand Slams – the equivalent of the ATP Masters 1000 and WTA 1000 events. 

Four British players won Super Series events in 2025. Hewett won Britain’s only Super Series singles title this year in Baton Rouge with a 6-0, 6-3 win over Martin De La Puente in the final. 

Hewett also made the Melbourne Open final and won ITF 1 events in Munich, Rome, Paris and the Lexus British Open Roehampton

Hewett and Reid also won the doubles event in Baton Rouge this year as well as the Melbourne Open Super Series.

Lucy Shuker won her first Super Series title since 2018 in Baton Rouge alongside Dutch star Aniek Van Koot. The duo beat Manami Tanaka and Zhenzhen Zhu in the final 6-2, 7-6(1). 

Finally, Lapthorne closed out his season with the French Riviera Open title – teaming up with Australia’s Heath Davidson. 

British breakthroughs at WTA 125 tournaments 

Francesca Jones and Katie Boulter won the biggest women’s singles titles of the year competing on the WTA 125 Tour. 

Jones has hit new heights in 2025, breaking into the top 100 for the first time in her career after two titles in Contrexeville and Palermo

The Yorkshire-born star won the biggest title of her career at the Grand Est Open 88 after defeating home favourite Elsa Jacquemot in the final. 

Just weeks later, Jones went to the Palermo Ladies Open, winning the title without dropping a set all week and finishing with a 6-3, 6-2 win over Anouk Koevermans.

Boulter came back to beat Chloe Pacquet in the final 3-6, 6-2, 6-3 to seal a landmark victory on the clay. 

Maia Lumsden won two WTA 125 doubles titles this season – the L’Open 35 de Saint Malo with Makoto Ninomiya and the Full Protein Caldas da Rainha Ladies Open with fellow Brit Harriet Dart

Record 15 ATP Challenger titles 

British players won a record 15 singles titles on the ATP Challenger Tour this season. 

Leading the charge with four Challenger titles this year was Jan Choinski with an impressive four trophies in Troyes, Bunschoten, Bad Waltersdorf and Valencia – all coming on clay.
