Briton pummels Rune to win at Indian Wells

B RITAIN’S Jack Draper thrashed Denmark’s Holger Rune 6-2, 6-2 to collect the biggest title of his career at Indian Wells yesterday with a place in the top 10 assured for the first time. The 23-year-old Draper has suffered a lingering hip issue this year but looked fine as he zipped around the court with ease yesterday, firing 21 winners to cap a superb week in the California desert. Playing in his fourth Masters 1000 final, Rune had the benefit of experience but could never find his rhythm as he

Playing in his first 1000-level final, Draper bludgeoned his opponent with seven aces in the first set, having hit a forehand winner to break in the first game and outfoxed Rune at the net in the third to go up another break. The Dane’s frustrations boiled over early in the second set, where he shouted at his team before dropping serve in the first game. He handed Draper another break in the penultimate game with a backhand shot that he sent wide.

match, you know, you’re thinking of all kinds of scenarios in your head, a lot of doubts,” he said. “And just what makes it even better is that, you know, just getting through those doubts and being able to play the final the way I did.” Rune made no excuses for his performance, telling the crowd: “It never feels nice not to be able to step over the line, but that’s life sometimes.” Draper did not have an easy path to the final, having to beat 2022 winner Taylor Fritz in the last 16, and had to contain his nerves after beating back-to-back defending champion Carlos Alcaraz in the semifinals on Sunday. “I felt a bit fatigued this morning from all of the emotions of yesterday. But I’m in a final, I have worked so hard to get here,” he said after the match. “There is no time to be tired. I’ve got to go out and go for it on every ball. “And no matter how I’m feeling, just put my head down and fight for everything.” He is the first Briton to win the title since Cameron Norrie in 2021 and will be ranked seventh now, after reaching the US Open semifinal last year. “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,” Draper, who lost in last month’s Doha final, told Sky Sports . “It feels like it is all coming together on the big stage.” – Reuters RUSSIAN teenager Mirra Andreeva fought back to overcome world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka 2-6, 6-4, 6-3 in the Indian Wells final yesterday, winning a second WTA 1000-level event in a row to keep her charmed year on track. The 17-year-old Andreeva, the youngest women’s champion at the tournament since Serena Williams in 1999, found her form midway through the match and crumpled to the ground in celebration after closing it out with a forehand winner. Top seed Sabalenka pulled herself out of a slump to bring some of her best tennis to the California desert this year and got off to a hot start yesterday but her form unravelled as the match wore on and she was left to rue missed opportunities. “I would like to thank myself for fighting until the end and for always believing in me and for never quitting,”Andreeva said at the trophy ceremony. “I was running like a rabbit today because Aryna, she’s been sending bullets and it was really hard to just keep up. “After the first set, I just realised, that, ‘oh, well, what I do now, it doesn’t work, so I have to change something’,” Andreeva told reporters. “In the second set, I tried to play a little bit more aggressive. I didn’t try to over hit her, because I don’t think anyone can over hit Aryna, because she’s super-powerful player. “I tried to really, I don’t know, create something to make her uncomfortable, and, you know, point-by-point, game-by game, I managed to do that.” Gracious in defeat, 2023 runner-up Sabalenka brought her trademark sense of humour to the trophy ceremony, while holding onto the petite consolation prize. “Mirra, congrats on an incredible run, great tournament, and great tennis. Congrats on having a great team. If I had the same team you have at your age, I’d probably be a better player by now,”the 26 year-old joked. “I’ll meet you next time on court and it’s probably not going to be your win! But whatever.” – Reuters/Express Newspapers Russian teen Andreeva stuns Sabalenka
