Jack Draper

[TW3Bee]

Just knocked out World Number One Carlos Alcaraz 6-1 0-6 6-4, and made it through to the Final of Indian Wells (The Fifth Major)

 

[A Real Mysteron]

Has all the weapons in his armoury to win Grand Slams.

Just knocked out World Number One Carlos Alcaraz 6-1 0-6 6-4, and made it through to the Final of Indian Wells (The Fifth Major)

Outstanding result and performance.

 

[Judio1999]

Bizarre scoreline

Alcaraz wins I think only 10 points in first set

Then Draper loses set six love

Got to be the favourite tonight

Rune knocked out Medvedev in the first semi

 

[Judio1999]

Confirms his first ever Top 10 Ranking

Will be 7th with a win or 9th if Rune wins

 

[Judio1999]

Indian Wells is one of nine ATP 1000 events

Despite what it likes to call itself ( Miami used to call itself the 5th Major in the 90s) Draper will only earn 1000 points for winning. Same as all of the other events

 

[Untouchable]

The men’s final follows the women’s final with a current estimated start time of 21:00.

 

[ziggys_human]

maybe his semi-final opponent was exhausted and jet lagged from his goodison park appearance?

The other events (e.g. ATP 500 and ATP 250) do not assign 1000 points to the winner. The clue is in the 500 or 250!!

 

[Banana]

Why are these two finalists dressed exactly the same?

 

[longtimeagobee]

Jack is wearing the dark shorts?

 

[Johnmcc]

Why are these two finalists dressed exactly the same?

They're not dressed exactly the same

 

[Judio1999]

Why are these two finalists dressed exactly the same?

So that the viewer notices the shirt
Marketing ploy
If they were different you wouldn't notice what they are wearing

 

[Lionel Bart-At]

Phenomenal display from Draper. Well played, young sir.

 

[alikat]

Well played Jackie D! Great stuff!?

Looks like he could well be a really big star for the next few years.

Top 10 and going to be a regular GS last 8-4 contender hopefully.

Don’t forget the $1.2mn prize money as well. Well done Draper ??

 

[Gazza Bee]

Great win and the first of many I suspect including Grand Slams - well done Jack

Think he has a way to go to regularly compete with Sinner and Alcaraz as his body (similar to Raducanu) does betray him at times but the talent is there to be top 5 for sure and competing at the business end of all the major tournaments as shown last week.

 

[Judio1999]

Playing one of the Next Gen
Mensik in Miami

A close 1st set
But just lost the tie break to the Czech

 

[Super_horns]

Hopefully not a case of after the Lord Mayors show ..

Mind you wouldn’t be that surprised.

Second set gone to a Tie Break too.

 

[TW3Bee]

Straight Sets defeat.

7-6 7-6

 

[Doovster]

To be fair Mensik serve was unbelievable today.

Jack Draper’s 60-minute Monte-Carlo demolition job marks turning point on clay

Jack Draper began his clay-court season in blistering fashion as he swept past Marcos Giron at the Monte-Carlo Masters.

[Super_horns]

Tough match for Draper against a clay court specialist and it’s showing .

Struggling to get into proceedings .

Norrie and Fearnley also through to the third round of the Madrid Open.

 

[Super_horns]

Norrie and Fearnley also through to the third round of the Madrid Open.

Great day for the GB boys.

 

[Judio1999]

Great day for the GB Men as well

Next round
Fearnley swerves Alcaraz and plays a LL
Draper however gets Berrettini

All three play again on Monday I think

 

[Hullbee]

Which GPG tennis do we have to thank for this British success

 

[longtimeagobee]

Which GPG tennis Coach do we have to thank for this British success

Edited for you, is that what you meant??

 

[Super_horns]

Great day for the GB Men as well

Next round
Fearnley swerves Alcaraz and plays a LL
Draper however gets Berrettini

All three play again on Monday I think

Think a couple are on today .

Quick turn around but used to it obviously.

 

[Judio1999]

No in the 10 day events they tend to play one half of the draw each day

So Jack's half was Thurs then Sat then Monday

 

[Judio1999]

Schedule is out

Draper last on Court 3

 

[Judio1999]

Highest seed left in Madrid

Tough match against Tommy Paul today though

Should be playing at 3pm

 

[Super_horns]

Set and a break up.

 

[Judio1999]

6 2 62 and "only" Arnaldi next as Tiafoe joins the seeds to get dumped out

 

[JANORAK]

He does seem to be getting ‘the rub of the green’ so far this year, as well as playing good tennis.

 

[TorbayBee]

He is developing into quite a beast. He absolutely nailed Fritz.

 

[Les Beeavinu]

He is developing into quite a beast. He absolutely nailed Fritz.

It was an American, not a German.

 

[Bristolian Bee]

Quarter final about to kick off.

More good news elsewhere in the draw - Medvedev the sneaky Slam winning Russian and Mensik the new Czech kid on the block who beat Jack early doors in Miami before going on to win the title both out.

 

[Judio1999]

F Cerundolo v Ruud is one semi

Draper if he wins will play most likely Musetti (or the LL)

 

[Untouchable]

Excellent win and into the worlds top 5.
