Indian Wells 2025 results: Jack Draper beats Taylor Fritz to set up Ben Shelton quarter-final
After the ninth game, after the distant end changes, the momentum is waving in strange moments.
Fritz tucked his racket into his bag as some rain fell on the court, sitting and waiting while Draper prepared for the game.
After a brief delay, the referee told Fritz to return to court–when he returned, he looked completely out of the situation.
Draper is still locked on Fritz, who held his first five games without much pressure.
With the accuracy and pace of his first service provided a rock-fixed foundation, the British were able to use his forehand to punish the effect and compete quickly before a prominent victory.
Now he has the chance to beat Sheldon to the semifinals of the Masters event for the first time, canceling another new career achievement.
Draper added: “I still feel like I have a lot to prove, not only to myself, but overall.”
“I wasn’t the top ten players until I was there and I always wanted more and wanted to prove my level.”
