After his victory over Vukic, Draper surged to No. 15 in the ATP live rankings, inching closer to his career-high ranking. His next challenge comes in the form of Carlos Alcaraz, a match that could push Draper closer to the coveted top 10 if he can repeat his success from last year's Queen’s Club, where he beat Alcaraz. Should he replicate his performance at the US Open and reach the semifinals, Draper could break into the top 10—a major breakthrough for the young British player.
Meanwhile, Tommy Paul is also making headlines, having already achieved a career milestone by breaking into the top 10 ATP rankings. His dominant 7-6(0), 6-2, 6-0 victory over Roberto Carballes Baena secured him the No. 9 spot in the live rankings. With his next match against Alejandro Davidovich Fokina on the horizon, Paul is positioned to solidify his place among the elite, and a victory could propel him further up the ladder. Paul has been in excellent form, and after a strong finish to 2024, his consistent performances at the Australian Open have helped him achieve a career-high position.
Both Draper and Paul are living proof that the new generation of ATP stars is ready to challenge the established hierarchy. As they continue to build their careers, they will surely be watched closely by fans and pundits alike, all of whom are eager to see whether they can challenge for Grand Slam titles in the near future. For now, they are focused on their performances in Melbourne, with Draper eyeing a potential breakthrough in the rankings and Paul looking to cement his place among the sport’s top players.
