By IANS News March 12, 2026 • 10:24 AM View: 550

Indian Wells QFs: Jack Draper earned one of the best wins of his career at the Indian Wells Open as he overcame five-time champion Novak Djokovic to enter the quarterfinals of the ATP Masters 1000 event.

Draper absorbed all of the five-time champion’s punches and threw a flurry of his own to rally past Djokovic in one of the matches of the tournament, 4-6, 6-4, 7-6(5).

Draper, now riding a nine-match winning streak in the California desert, will face two-time finalist Daniil Medvedev in quarterfinal.
