Faced with a Holger Rune never really entered his match, Jack Draper was expeditious to win the Indian Wells Masters 1000 final in two dry rounds.
Jack Draper did not give his chance. Qualified for his first Masters 1000 final after having ended Carlos Alcaraz’s victory series in Indian Wells, the Briton concluded about fifteen idyllic by a one -way final. Indeed, Holger Rune was not there for his fourth final of a tournament in this category. This could be felt from the first exchanges between the two players. While Jack Draper was very concentrated and precise, the Danish was more messy. The result was a station wagon conceded at the end of the first game of this final, on the first opportunity obtained by the 14th world player. After without difficulty his commitment, the native of Sutton applied the same recipe a second time. Holger Rune thus conceded his service for the second time to find himself too quickly led four games to nothing. An addition that could have been even more salty if the Briton had not let out a triple station wagon ball in the fifth game.
Rune to absent subscribers
The hardest part being done, the seeded number 13 of the tournament left the games scrolling to conclude this first round on its service. The first set ball was the right one, after only half an hour of a one-way fight. The start of the second round furiously looked like that of the first. Imprecise, Holger Rune opened the door to Jack Draper and the latter did not ask for his rest. However, he had to go there twice to take the service of the Danish as soon as the first game concluded. An ascendant that the 14th world player did not, however, amplified in stride. The debates were balanced between the two players. This resulted in a sequence of five games concluded in favor of the one who hired. Feeling a potential first first victory in Masters 1000, Jack Draper could have stretched out but exactly the opposite that arrived.
Draper answered present
Despite some doubtful choices in the exchange, the Briton confirmed his stranglehold on this final with a second break allowing him to lead five games for two and serve for the gain of the meeting. Winning the first three points, he let out a first match ball before concluding on a last direct fault by Holger Rune (6-2, 6-2 in 1h09 ‘). After the ATP 250 tournament in Stuttgart then the Vienna ATP 500 last year, Jack Draper adds a third title to his record and the most prestigious of all to Indian Wells, who remained on a failure in the final in Doha last February against Andrey Rublev. Thanks to the points obtained, the Briton will enter the top 10 in the world ranking this Monday, pointing to 7th position. Holger Rune, meanwhile, continues a third loss of rank in a Masters 1000 final, he who won only a title in this category, in Paris-Bercy in 2022. The meeting of Miami will be an opportunity for the two players to confirm that this success is not punctual.
