Darderi and Draper are on the Day 4 Schedule at Erste Bank Open 2024 on Thursday 24 October 2024. Lets breakdown the career, past stats and recent form of these players and predict who will get the victory.
Who Will Win In This Head-To-Head?
Luciano Darderi, a 22-year-old Italian tennis player, is currently ranked 42nd in the world. He reached a career-high ranking of 32 in August 2024. Darderi’s impressive journey started at the beginning of the year when he was ranked 128th. Throughout the year, he broke into the Top 100 in February and the Top 50 in May. He clinched his first ATP Tour title in Cordoba, where he defeated Bagnis in the final. Notably, this was the third final between two qualifiers on the ATP Tour since its establishment in 1990. Darderi also reached the semifinals at the 2024 Houston and Lyon tournaments. In addition to his ATP Tour success, he has had a solid record in Challenger events, with an 86-58 record and three titles. Darderi’s junior career was also notable, peaking at No. 8 in the rankings in February 2020. He was born in Argentina and started playing tennis at the age of 4 with the guidance of his father, Luciano Enrique, who is a former tennis player and current coach. Darderi has yet to secure a win against a top 20 player and has a 0-1 record on hard courts.
On the other hand, Jack Draper, a 22-year-old British player, is currently ranked 18th in the world, which is his career-high ranking. He has experienced consistent improvement throughout 2022, breaking into the Top 200 in February, the Top 100 in June, and the Top 50 in September. Draper’s rise culminated in October 2024, when he reached a career-high ranking of 18th. His breakthrough performance came at the 2024 US Open, where he advanced to the semifinals without dropping a set. This made him the fourth British man in the Open Era to reach the US Open semifinals. Unfortunately, he lost to the eventual champion, Sinner. Draper also claimed his first ATP Tour title at the 2024 Stuttgart tournament, defeating Berrettini in the final. Another notable achievement was his victory over Alcaraz at the Queen’s Club in the following week. In 2022, Draper reached his first ATP Tour semifinal at Eastbourne as a wildcard and also had impressive wins over top 10 players, including Tsitsipas and Auger-Aliassime. He had won his first two ATP Tour matches by defeating Sinner and Bublik and reached the quarterfinals as a wild card entry at the 2021 London/Queen’s Club tournament. In his junior career, Draper reached a career-high ranking of No. 7 and made it to the Wimbledon boys’ singles final in 2018, where he defeated Mejia in a thrilling semifinal match.
In the upcoming match, Luciano Darderi will be seeking his sixth ATP Tour quarterfinal appearance, all of which have been on clay courts in 2024. He won his first career indoor match against Thiem in the first round, and a victory in this match would mark the biggest win of his career. However, he is yet to secure a win against a top 20 player and has a 0-5 record against them. He has also only played one match on hard courts, which resulted in a loss.
Jack Draper, on the other hand, will be aiming to reach his 16th tour-level quarterfinal. He has a 7-8 record in previous quarterfinal encounters and has only reached the quarterfinals once in an indoor tournament at the 2023 Sofia event, where he lost in the final to Mannarino. Draper’s hopes of making it to the quarterfinals in Vienna would make him the seventh British player to achieve this feat, following in the footsteps of Henman, Rusedski, Evans, Murray, M. Cox, and Edmund.
