A 30-year-old British tennis record is now under threat of ending next week

Cameron Norrie will be hoping to stop a British tennis streak coming to an end at the Stockholm Open next week.

It has been a mixed season for British tennis, with both Emma Raducanu and Jack Draper both spending a significant period on the injury sidelines this year, having also had a notably disappointing French Open.

However, there have been some more encouraging signs, with Arthur Fery enjoying a breakthrough run to the semi-finals of Wimbledon, while both Katie Boulter and Harriet Dart won WTA titles this year. It is also the first time since 1978 that four British players are in the top 100 on both the ATP and WTA Tours.

Despite this, no British ATP singles player has won a title in 2026, putting a 30-year streak at risk of coming to an end.

No British man has won an ATP singles title so far in 2026

Since 1996, there has been at least one British player who has won an ATP singles title every year, but that has not happened yet in 2026 with just one more week left of the season.

Between 1996 and 2005, either Greg Rusedski and/or Tim Henman won at least one title per year, which began this impressive streak. Andy Murray then took over the reins, as the only British man who won a title for 11 years.

This includes Murray winning three Grand Slam titles and two Olympic gold medals. Murray won his last title in 2019, and since then the likes of Kyle Edmund, Dan Evans, as well as the aforementioned Norrie and Draper have all won titles.

However, there has been no British man lifting a main tour title in 2026 so far, with Fery coming the closest to doing so at the Winston Salem Open, where he reached the final before losing to Ignacio Buse.

The Paris Masters are currently ongoing, but there are no British players remaining in the singles draw, with next week’s Stockholm Open the last chance for an ATP player from Great Britain to win a title. Norrie is currently the only British player confirmed to be in the main draw, but the 31-year-old has only won two of his last nine matches.

While no British ATP singles player has won a title this year, there has been success for the doubles players with Henry Patten, Julian Cash, Lloyd Glasspool, Neal Skupski and Luke Johnson all winning titles, including being part of three Grand Slam wins.
