What Time Will Holger Rune Play Against Jack Draper?
Rune and Draper are on the Day 12 Schedule at Bnp Paribas Open 2025 on Sunday 16 March 2025. 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?
In the quarterfinals of the ATP Masters 1000 Cincinnati tournament, Holger Rune from Denmark, ranked 12th in the PIF ATP Live Rankings, faced Jack Draper from Great Britain, ranked 8th. Rune had a 1-0 lead in their head-to-head matchups.
Rune, who is 21 years old and currently ranked 13th in the world, has had a successful career so far. He reached his career-high ranking of No. 4 in August 2023, making him the highest-ranked Danish player in ATP Rankings history. In 2022, he won the ATP Masters 1000 Paris title at the age of 19, becoming the first player since the start of the ATP Tour in 1990 to earn five Top-10 wins at an event other than the Nitto ATP Finals. From 2022 to 2023, he had a record of 18-5 in ATP Masters 1000 events, finishing as the runner-up in Monte-Carlo and Rome. He had a 7-match winning streak against Top 5 opponents, including victories over World No. 1 players Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic. Rune ended the 2022 season on a high note, winning 19 out of his last 21 matches. He also made history by reaching the quarterfinals of the 2022 Roland Garros, becoming the first Danish man to achieve this feat in tournament history and the first Danish player to reach a Grand Slam quarterfinal in the Open Era.
Rune’s goal in the tournament is to win his fifth ATP Tour title and his second at the ATP Masters 1000 level (he previously won in Paris in 2022). A victory in Indian Wells would propel him to No. 8 in the rankings, returning him to the Top 10 for the first time since April of the previous year. Rune is also aiming to become the first Scandinavian champion in Indian Wells since Stefan Edberg in 1990.
On the other side of the court is Jack Draper, a 23-year-old British player ranked 14th in the world. Draper achieved a career-high ranking of No. 12 in February 2025. He made it to the semifinals of the 2024 US Open without dropping a set, becoming the fourth British man in the Open Era to reach that stage of the tournament. He captured his first ATP Tour title by defeating Matteo Berrettini in the final of the 2024 Stuttgart tournament, and he secured his biggest win to date by defeating World No. 2 Carlos Alcaraz at Queen’s Club. Draper won the biggest title of his career at the 2024 Vienna tournament, becoming the first man to win the tournament on his debut since Andy Murray in 2014. In 2022, he reached his first ATP Tour semifinal as a Wild Card in Eastbourne and earned Top 10 victories over Stefanos Tsitsipas and Felix Auger-Aliassime.
