“Jack Draper Falls to Alex De Minaur in Paris Masters After Grueling Schedule”

Jack Draper’s remarkable run at the Paris Masters came to an end as he faced off against Alex De Minaur in the last 16. After a grueling match against world No. 6 Taylor Fritz that concluded late Wednesday night, Draper had only 19 hours to recover before taking on the ninth seed, De Minaur. Despite his best efforts, Draper’s fatigue became evident as the match progressed. He fought valiantly but ultimately succumbed to De Minaur’s relentless play, losing the match 5-7, 6-2, 6-3. Draper expressed his exhaustion, noting, “It’s nuts. I’ve played eight matches in 10 days.” While Draper displayed tenacity throughout the match, De Minaur’s skill and stamina proved too much, allowing him to advance to the quarter-finals.
