Jack Draper now embodies the hope of British tennis. Ranked 62nd in the world at the start of the year, he finally began to use his full potential this year, finishing the season ranked 15th in the world.

Draper, who has been under scrutiny for several years, finally managed to put his physical worries to one side and had a near-full year. After winning the title in Stuttgart and defeating Alcaraz at Queen's, the Briton went one better at the end of the season, reaching the semi-finals of the US Open and winning the title in Vienna.

As he celebrates his 23rd birthday this Sunday, the question arises: how far can the English No. 1 go?

While Ukrainian athletes have had to rethink their entire organization, an entire country, behind the scenes, has had to adapt and change its training conditions.

Seasons best to all the regulars in our league.

Will you all be back in the new year.?
