Jack Draper will face Holger Rune in the final of the BNP Paribas Open at Indian Wells this evening after the Brit defeated Carlos Alcaraz in a thrilling semi-final on Saturday.
Draper overcame the world number three 6-1, 0-6, 6-4 to continue his great form in the tournament. He has only dropped one set during this campaign, with that coming against Alcaraz, and he is through to his first Masters 1000 final.
Tonight’s opponent, Rune, overcame Daniil Medvedev in straight sets 7-5, 6-2 and will be the favourite to go on and lift the title but Draper’s form and determination will push him to his limits.
Draper’s victory over Alcaraz also means he moves into the top 10 rankings for the first time. “It feels unbelievable,” he told Sky Sports, “I've been through so much the last few years with injuries and setbacks. It feels incredible.”
