Jack Draper defeats Jenson Brooksby, advances at Indian Wells

British No. 1 Jack Draper advanced to the fourth round of the BNP Paribas Open at Indian Wells with a 7-5, 6-4 victory over Jenson Brooksby. After a shaky start, trailing 1-4 in the first set, Draper rallied back, showcasing his resilience despite experiencing frustration during the match. He acknowledged Brooksby's unorthodox playing style as a challenge but expressed satisfaction with his performance and ability to stay composed. This victory marks Draper's continued strong season, following a fourth-round appearance at the Australian Open and a final in Doha. He will next face either third seed Taylor Fritz or Alejandro Tabilo in the round of 16. Draper's win also extends his impressive record against players outside the Top 50, improving to 16-0 since last June.
