Jack Draper loses Madrid Open final as Casper Ruud spoils fairytale run
Casper Ruud spoiled Jack Draper’s party at the Madrid Open, beating the Brit to lift the biggest title of his career. Draper had been on a tear at the Caja Magica, but the 14th seed came back from a break down in the opening set, sealing a 7-5 3-6 6-4 victory to claim his first Masters 1000 crown.
Ruud will now re-enter the world’s top 10 while Draper is set for his top-five debut on Monday. The Norwegian becomes just the second man ranked outside of the elite 10 to lift the trophy in Madrid.
