Draper Defeats Musetti in Madrid to Reach His Second Masters 1000 Final

After Indian Wells, Jack Draper will compete in another Masters 1000 final—this time in Madrid. The British player, who will enter the Top 5 on Monday, defeated Lorenzo Musetti (6-3, 7-6) to advance to the tournament’s final stage.

The first set quickly swung in Draper’s favor as he broke his opponent twice early in the match. The second set was much tighter, with both players delivering thrilling rallies for the spectators at the Caja Mágica.

The higher-ranked player made the difference in the tie-break, pulling ahead early with a mini-break.

For his second final in this tournament category, Draper will face Casper Ruud on Sunday. He will also rise to No. 2 in the Race rankings on Monday with 2,290 points, trailing only Carlos Alcaraz, who leads with 2,740 points.
