Indian Wells 2025 results: Jack Draper beats Holger Rune to win first ATP Masters title


Britain’s Jack Draper claimed the biggest title of his career with an assured win over Denmark’s Holger Rune in the Indian Wells final.

Draper, 23, was dominant from the start as he brushed aside world number 13 Rune in a 6-2 6-2 victory.

Lifting his first trophy at an ATP Masters event – the tier below the four Grand Slam tournaments – capped a landmark weekend for the British number one.

After beating Spain’s Carlos Alcaraz in Saturday’s semi-finals, 14th-ranked Draper was already assured of climbing into the world’s top 10 for the first time – whatever happened against 21-year-old Rune.

The straight-set victory means the English left-hander will move up to seventh in the ATP rankings on Monday.

“It is an incredible feeling,” Draper told Sky Sports.

“I have put in a lot of work over time and I’m so grateful to be out here, with my body healthy and feeling great in the mind.

“It feels like it is all coming together on the big stage.”

After sending a forehand long on his first championship point, Draper completed the job at the second attempt when Rune pushed a return wide with the Briton rushing to the net.

Draper celebrated in composed fashion – smiling towards his support team, before kneeling down on court and patting the surface.
