Indian Wells: Jack Draper overwhelmed Holger Rune 6-2, 6-2 in a little more than an hour in the final of the BNP Paribas Open on Sunday, achieving two big milestones by claiming his first Masters 1000 title and earning his debut in the top 10 of the ATP rankings.
According to Emirates News Agency, Draper, a 23-year-old from Britain who was seeded 13th at the hard-court tournament in the California desert, built up a 21-7 advantage in winners against Rune while also making fewer unforced errors. This victory will see him rise from No. 14 to a career-high No. 7 in the rankings on Monday.
In another significant development at the BNP Paribas Open, Russian teenager Mirra Andreeva managed a comeback to beat No. 1-ranked Aryna Sabalenka 2-6, 6-4, 6-3. This victory made the 17-year-old the tournament's youngest champion since Serena Williams in 1999.
