Jack Draper hits back to Holger Rune during the men’s championship final of the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells, Calif., Sunday, March 16, 2025. Fifth-seeded Jack Draper of Great Britain cruised past No. 11 Tommy Paul of the United States 6-2, 6-2, on Wednesday to reach the quarterfinals of the Madrid Open.
Draper had four aces on the clay court and won 86 percent of his first-serve points while limiting the American to zero aces and just 53 percent of points won on his first serve.
“The more matches I play at this level will keep helping my confidence on this surface,” Draper said. “Obviously a win today, in that kind of way against someone who is ranked 12 in the world is a big thing for me.
“I’m just happy with the way I’m approaching the matches and my training and everything.”
Draper converted four of six break points while giving up no break-point chances during the match.
In another Round of 16 match, No. 10 Lorenzo Musetti of Italy downed No. 6 Alex De Minaur 6-4, 6-2.
Musetti converted three of 10 break points (30 percent) in the win over the Australia native. He hit 15 winners and committed 19 unforced errors.
On the other side, De Minaur had just five winners, 27 unforced errors and won just 11 of 48 return points (23 percent).
Gabriel Diallo of Canada also reached the quarters with a 7-5, 7-6 (7), 6-4 upset of No. 15 Grigor Dimitrov of Bulgaria.
Both men relied on their serves as Diallo notched eight aces and won 77 percent (75 of 97) of points on his first serve. Dimitrov had 14 aces while winning 59 percent (55 of 94) of his first service points.
In a closely contested match, Diallo had 31 winners and 26 unforced errors compared to Dimitrov’s 39 winners and 29 errors.
Diallo will square off against Musetti in one of Thursday’s quarterfinal matches.
Matteo Arnaldi of Italy also secured an upset, 6-3, 7-5, over No. 16 Frances Tiafoe of the United States.
Arnaldi converted three of five break points in the win while limiting Tiafoe to a 14 percent success rate (1-for-7).
The Italian will face Draper, the tournament’s top remaining seed, in another quarterfinal match on Thursday.

Pete Alonso, Trent Grisham and more players to consider selling high in fantasy baseball
Through some combination of luck and cunning, you have rostered an unexpected star. You snapped up Trent Grisham. You were the first to Ben Rice. You didn’t scroll past Cedric Mullins.Now what? Ride it out or look to sell? Let’s look at some of the top early-season performers with an eye toward who is doing something sustainable and who you should look to sell.AdvertisementA quick, non-statistical note on the buy-high concept: trades are always manager and league-specific. In my experience, most managers won’t give you much for a player who has a long track record of so-so production, even if they had a great April. Put another way, how much would you trade for Zach McKinstry and his .326 average?With that in mind, let’s look for some sell-high targets among the top-qualified hitters this year by wOBA.
