Ace Debut: Jack Draper to Grace the Grass Courts of the Giorgio Armani Tennis Classic

British No. 1 Jack Draper will make his debut at this year’s Giorgio Armani Tennis Classic, joining a world-class line-up on the iconic grass courts of The Hurlingham Club, 24–28 June. Draper is the latest star confirmed, alongside World No. 16 Frances Tiafoe, World No. 20 Stefanos Tsitsipas and World No. 24 Karen Khachanov.

Fresh off a breakout season, 23-year-old Draper has firmly established himself as Britain's leading male tennis player. After clinching the British No. 1 ranking last June, Draper stormed to his first Masters 1000 title in Indian Wells, defeating Carlos Alcaraz and Holger Rune en route. BY reaching the final at the 2025 Madrid Open Draper cemented his spot as World No. 5—making him just the fourth Brit in history to crack the ATP top five. Draper is also the youngest British man to reach ATP finals on all three surfaces: clay, grass, and hard court. His appearance at Hurlingham marks a thrilling homecoming ahead of Wimbledon.

 British No.1, Jack Draper said: "I couldn’t be more excited to join the line-up at one of the most iconic summer events in tennis. It’s a great opportunity to get some quality grass-court matches under my belt ahead of Wimbledon, and there’s nowhere better to do that than at The Hurlingham Club. It’s such a prestigious venue and being so close to home in South West London makes it even more special.”

Now in its 31st edition, the Giorgio Armani Tennis Classic continues to combine world-class tennis with British elegance, hosted at one of the UK’s most exclusive members’ clubs. As title partner for the fourth consecutive year, Giorgio Armani brings signature style and sophistication to this unique sporting event.
