- Seventh win in a row and fourth against a top-10 player
- In-form Briton faces Australian Alex de Minaur next
The two previous times Jack Draper and Taylor Fritz faced each other this year, their encounters ended in similar ways. Although so little separated them on both occasions, Fritz’s greater self-belief and maturity marked the difference in the most important moments. He clinched both matches in three tight sets.
This is a different Draper, though, a special talent now flowing with confidence and the belief he truly belongs among the best. His exceptional end‑of‑season form continued as he closed out another massive win, edging out Fritz 7-6 (6), 4-6, 6-4 in a tension-filled battle to reach the last-16 of the Paris Masters.
