The leading position in British men's tennis is expected to fluctuate frequently this year, with Cameron Norrie having recently ascended to that top spot. Norrie moved to 24th globally after Indian Wells quarter-finals, replacing Jack Draper, who fell 12 places to 26th after defending 1,000 points. Draper, only 43 points behind, could retake the lead at the upcoming Miami Open by progressing one round further.
