Bristol Post
|May 06, 2025
JACK Draper was beaten in three gruelling sets by an inspired Casper Ruud in the Madrid Open final on Sunday night.
-
The 23-year-old Briton fought back to level the match after losing the opening set, but it was three-time grand slam finalist Ruud who held the edge on the crucial points.
Draper, up to fifth in the world rankings after his brilliant run in the Spanish capital and bidding for a second ATP 1000 title in two months following his Indian Wells triumph in mid-March, fell short against the Norwegian, who triumphed 7-5 3-6 6-4 in just under two-and-a-half hours.
Draper was magnanimous in defeat, praising Ruud for his performance and vowing to come back stronger.
