Jack Draper, the British No. 1, advanced to the quarter-finals of the BNP Paribas Open at Indian Wells after defeating the No. 3 seed and 2022 Indian Wells champion Taylor Fritz, who was also a US Open finalist last year, in straight sets, 7-5, 6-4. This victory marks the 23-year-old's first time reaching the quarter-finals at Indian Wells and his third Masters 1000 quarter-final overall. Draper's performance against Fritz was highlighted as one of the best of his career, showcasing his ability to break serve and maintain a strong lead. He turned the game in his favor with a crucial run of seven successive games, securing his 8th top 10 win. Despite a late stumble when serving for the match, Draper managed to secure the win on his second attempt, expressing pride in his performance against a formidable opponent like Fritz. Draper, who reached the final in Doha a few weeks ago, will next face Ben Shelton in the quarter-finals, following Shelton's victory over Brandon Nakashima. This match represents another opportunity for Draper to showcase his skills, having already achieved his 7th top 10 win and his third Masters 1000 quarter-final this season.
