The future is now - Jakub Mensik and Jack Draper join make history following their title runs at the Sunshine Double

Winning Indian Wells and the Miami Open is a dream for every tennis player, falling just short of capturing a Grand Slam title. Although established veterans often end up as the last man standing at each event, the 2025 season saw two rising stars take home the silverware.

British star Jack Draper prevailed at the Indian Wells Masters event, defeating Dane Holger Rune in the final. The London native would lose to Czech youngster Jakub Mensik in the first round of the Miami Open, with Mensik eventually reaching the final where he upset former World No.1 Novak Djokovic to win his maiden ATP Masters 1000 title.
