Author of a very beautiful journey to Indian Wells, Arthur Son, now 18th (his best ranking), occupies this Monday the rank of French number 1 for the first time in his young career and at only 20 years and nine months. Jack Draper, titled in the Californian desert, made his entry into the Top 10, 7th.
Arthur son in power. Long occupied by Ugo Humbert, the French number 1 chair gave way this Monday to the Ile -de -France, an example of precocity if it is and rewarded for its excellent start to the season by becoming the best classified of our representatives to the new classification at the expense of Messin, who loses a place and is retreating in 20th.
Son, he takes advantage of his very good week at Indian Wells to climb three places in the hierarchy and now appear in 18th position, his best ranking to date. It therefore allows the quarter finalist last week in the Californian desert (and again, it was necessary from a nothing that he hung Daniil Medvedev to his hunting board) to be ahead of all his compatriots, and this at only 20 years and nine months. The native of Essonne also becomes the fourth youngest French player in history after Yannick Noah, Richard Gasquet and Gaël Monfils to style the national crown.
The shattering arrival of draper!
Jack Draper (23) is older than Sébastien Grosjean’s now ex-protégé. But not much. As a son, he seems, however, promised a very good career. His coronation of Sunday came to confirm all the talent of the young British who remained on a lost final in Doha against Andrey Rublev and had also shone at the Australian Open at the start of the year by reaching the knockout stages before having to abandon against Carlos Alcaraz, against whom he took his revenge in the semi-finals in California. And it is only just rewards there too that Draper is now part of the Top 10. His title to Indian Wells indeed propels it to 7th place. But as for son, it is probably only the beginning.
