Jack Draper, the 23-year-old British tennis player, etched his name into the history books by winning his first Masters 1000 title at the BNP Paribas Open on Sunday [1]. Draper defeated Holger Rune, a fellow non-top 10 player, in a dominating performance, winning 6-2, 6-2. This victory marks Draper's debut in the top 10 ATP rankings, where he will rise from No. 14 to a career-high No. 7 [1].The BNP Paribas Open final was a historic one, as Draper and Rune were the first non-top 10 players to compete in a Masters final since 2021 [1]. Draper's win over Rune follows his impressive win over Carlos Alcaraz, the two-time defending champion, in the semifinals [1].
Draper's rise to the top 10 is a testament to his hard work and dedication to the sport. He flew out of the gates against Alcaraz, claiming the first set in a lightning quick 23 minutes [1]. Draper's aggressive play and ability to dictate the match were on full display throughout the final against Rune.
Rune, seeded 12th, was the first ATP Masters 1000 finalist born in the 2000s [1]. He was known for his anticipation and ability to steal points, but Draper had him guessing throughout the match. Draper's impressive serving and ability to hold his own against Rune's powerful forehand were crucial in his victory.
Draper's win at the BNP Paribas Open is a significant milestone in his career. He expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to play and the support he has received from his peers [1]. Draper's healthy respect among his peers is set to grow further after his impressive victory over Rune.
