Indian Wells, Jack Draper completes his triumphant week.
Draper in triumph
One hour and nine minutes to complete a final with no history. Sixteen games to become the fourth player born in the 2000s with at least one Masters 1000 to his credit. Jack Draper dominated 62 62 Holger Rune in the final of the BNP Paribas at Indian Wells. He thus celebrated the third and most prestigious ATP title of his career and the certainty of entering the Top 10 for the first time.
In the first final between two players born in the 2000s in a Masters 1000 he literally did what he wanted with his forehand, never existed né conceding break balls throughout the match. Rune è appeared from the start without countermeasures, without the right precision né lucidnessà to hold up to the pressure of the Briton, the first left-hander to beat him since 2023.
The first Dane in the final in the history of the BNP Paribas Open, Rune è never managed to bring to bear the newfound mix of exuberance and control of the exchanges with which he è managed to defeat Tsitsipas and Medvedev, thus beating; for the fourth time in his career two Top 10s in the same tournament.
Draper made him look confused, inaccurate, forced him to concede from the start, from the break signed in the first game that made the most of his choice to start in reply.
