Crawford's scintillating spell on the ITF World Tennis Tour
It has been an excellent year so far for Oliver Crawford on the ITF World Tennis Tour.
The 25-year-old Brit has been a winning machine of late - topping the stats for most titles and matches won by any male player on the tour this season - and recently capturing a third consecutive M25 title.
His numbers this year are highly impressive. With four titles won already and a win/loss record of 34-6 - he's comfortably ahead of the pack right now.
Points such as the clip below are a clear indication of Crawford's current level. With great ball-striking off both wings, exceptional defence and anticipation, it is easy to see why he has been so dominant lately.

Crawford kicked off the 2025 season well, picking up his first title of the year at M25 Chennai in January. He followed up with two appearances in M15 finals, but it was in March that the Brit really got going.
His second title of the season came at M25 Luan where he fought back from a set down twice on his way to the title, triumphing over a resurgent Hyeon Chung in the final. Crawford had no intention of slowing down in China, and headed straight to Shenzhen the following week.
He then went on to claim his third title of 2025 and second in as many weeks, defeating Yan Bai in the final. After a week off from competing, the Brit was back in action at M25 Bengaluru heading into April.
The wins kept on coming, and Crawford grabbed his third tournament win in a row - raising his winning streak to 15 matches. Unfortunately, the final in Bengaluru was marred by a retirement from fellow Brit Jay Clarke but it was still another excellent week for Crawford who now has 13 titles on the ITF World Tennis Tour.
The Brit has climbed 88 spots to 314 in the ATP rankings this year, and he's projected to re-enter the Top 300 when the rankings are next published on Monday 14 April.
Crawford played qualifying at every Grand Slam in 2024, and though he is yet to appear at a major this year, his current form suggests that it won't be long until he's competing on the sport's biggest stage once again.
