Katie Boulter

Boulter built on her form from the previous season to deliver yet another standout season on the WTA Tour.

The British No.1 claimed her first WTA 500 title in San Diego in March after defeating Ukraine’s Marta Kostyuk – marking the biggest accolade of her career so far.

Onto the grass court season and the Leicester native turned her attention to the Rothesay Open Nottingham where she entered as the defending champion.

After taking down fellow Brit Emma Raducanu in the semi-final, Boulter went on to fight back from a set down to beat former Wimbledon champion Karolina Pliskova 4-6, 6-3, 6-2 to seal successive titles in Nottingham.

The results continued to roll in for Boulter in the latter stages of the season as she transitioned to the hard courts during the Asian swing. Having made the semi-final of the Japan Open, the three-time WTA titleholder sprinted to the final of the Hong Kong Open where she eventually finished runner-up.

She also helped guide the Lexus GB Billie Jean King Cup team to the semi-finals for the second time in three years, following her victories over Laura Siegemund and Leylah Fernandez.

Jack Draper

Draper embarked on a breakthrough season in 2024, which saw him cap off the year at a career-high ranking of world No.15.

It all began in the grass court season when the Sutton-born star claimed his first ATP title at the Boss Open, defeating two-time champion Matteo Berrettini 3-6, 7-6(5), 6-4. As a result of his victory in Stuttgart, Draper rose to claim the British No.1 spot for the first time in his young career.

However, September is when Draper well and truly announced his arrival on the world’s biggest stage. The Briton ticked off a significant career milestone when he reached the semi-final of the US Open – becoming the eighth British man to reach the final four of a Grand Slam and the fourth to do so at Flushing Meadows.

Draper’s run in New York spurred him on to an impressive run of form during the indoor hard-court season that eventually led him to clinch the ATP 500 title at the Erste Bank Open and cement his spot inside the top 20.

Henry Patten

What a year it was for doubles star Patten, who swept up three ATP titles and a maiden Grand Slam crown during his 2024 campaign.

The 28-year-old joined forces with Finland’s Harri Heliovaara and went on to lift titles in Marrakech, Lyon and Stockholm but it was on home soil at The Championships, Wimbledon that Patten etched his name into the history books as he won his first major title at his home Slam.

In September, Patten received his first Davis Cup call-up and sealed his first victory for his country against Canada before wrapping up his season by reaching the semi-finals of the Nitto ATP Finals on his tournament debut to claim the spot at the top of the British doubles rankings.

Alfie Hewett

Hewett fulfilled a lifelong dream when he won the Wimbledon singles title for the first time last summer to complete the career Grand Slam.

In engraving his name on the trophy, Hewett became only the second men’s wheelchair tennis player in history to complete the singles career Grand Slam and the fourth overall in wheelchair tennis.

However, that wasn’t the end of the Grand Slam glory for Hewett. Alongside fellow Brit and doubles partner Gordon Reid, the pair lifted all three major titles at the Australian Open, French Open and Wimbledon (US Open not held due to the Paralympic Games) to take his major titles tally up to 30 in total.

The milestones just kept on coming for Hewett who clinched his first Paralympic gold medal as he and Reid emerged victorious at the Paris Paralympic Games. The Norfolk player also won silver in the singles event.

A star-studded season also saw him seal his 50th career doubles title with Reid at the Rothesay International Eastbourne, as well as playing an integral role in guiding Great Britain to back-to-back men’s World Team Cup titles in Antalya in May.

Mika Stojsavljevic

15-year-old Stojsavljevic had a year to remember as she became the first British tennis player to win the US Open junior title in 15 years.

Having dropped just two sets on her way to the final, the Hammersmith-born teenager capped off an incredible run with a straight set victory to capture the title. Her triumph in Flushing Meadows also saw her become the youngest player to win the girls’ singles title since Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova in 2006.

Off the back of her win, Stojsavljevic was also amongst the nominees for the Sunday Times Young Sportswoman of the Year award and made her WTA main draw debut at the Toray Pan Pacific Open in October 2024 where she came close to defeating world No.57 Moyuka Uchijim.

Charlie Robertson

Emerging teenage sensation Robertson celebrated another standout season last year, which saw him take the next steps in his career.

The 18-year-old left his mark on the junior circuit – finishing runner-up at the J500 Merida and J300 events at College Park and Roehampton.

The 2024 season also saw Robertson reach the semi-finals at the US Open Junior and finish third at the ITF Junior Finals in Chengdu to conclude the year ranked No.8 in the ITF World Tennis Tour boys’ rankings.

Robertson also had his first taste of success on the ATP Challenger Tour. Competing in Glasgow at his first Challenger event, he came through two rounds of qualifying to reach the main draw and went on to clinch his first Challenger win over Tibo Colson to reach the second round.

Ruben Harris

17-year-old British wheelchair tennis star Ruben Harris reigned supreme in Paris after being crowned the Roland Garros Junior doubles champion – marking his first junior Grand Slam title.

Harris teamed up with Austria’s Maximilian Taucher and defeated Yassin Hill and Ivar van Rijt 7-5, 6-4 to clinch the prestigious title on the Parisian clay courts.

Additionally, Harris also claimed the Knokke Zoute Junior Roller Open doubles title, the Cruyff Foundation European International Camp singles title and finished runner-up at the Sirius Open and Trophy Glammartini.
