Horsham FC Faces Financial Challenges Amid National League South Debut

Jack Draper, Britain's No. 1 and world No. 4 tennis player, faced a challenging second-round match at Wimbledon 2025 against former US Open champion Marin Čilić, with Draper ultimately losing and disappointing local fans. Draper, known for his powerful left-handed serve and aggressive baseline game, has shown promise with recent successes like winning the Indian Wells Masters 1000 and reaching the US Open semi-final. The tournament has seen a significant number of early upsets, with 36 of the top 64 seeds eliminated by the third round, raising concerns about British tennis representation despite some progress from Spanish players. Meanwhile, the prize money of amateur college player Oliver Tarvet, who cannot accept his earnings, is redistributed to benefit British tennis through the LTA, which received over £50 million from Wimbledon last year. Off the court, Draper has attracted attention for his changing hairstyles and grooming, reflecting his experimental approach to personal style. The Wimbledon 2025 event also included discussions on court speed changes and the continuing viability of serve-and-volley play, as well as the transition to electronic line-calling, which has altered player interactions with officials.
