🎾 ATP Madrid: Jack Draper vs Matteo Berrettini – Match Preview
🧠 Form & Context
🇮🇹 Matteo Berrettini
- Milestone Moment: Secured his 200th main tour win after a tough three-set battle against Marcos Giron, needing two tiebreaks and over two hours.
- Clay Court Resurgence: Dominated lower-tier clay events last year, winning 15 of 16 matches without dropping a set in two of three title runs.
- Higher-Level Challenge: Proved he can still upset top names with his recent Monte Carlo win over Alexander Zverev.
- Altitude Advantage: Thrives in quicker clay conditions like Madrid; finalist here in 2021 and successful at other high-altitude events.
🇬🇧 Jack Draper
- Madrid Breakthrough: Reached the third round in Madrid for the first time, easing past the in-form Tallon Griekspoor in straight sets.
- Top-10 Status: Won the biggest title of his career at Indian Wells, breaking into the ATP top 10 for the first time this spring.
- Clay Question Marks: Still developing his game on clay; has only twice won back-to-back tour-level matches on the surface, holding a modest 26–20 career record (5–7 in 2024).
- Building Confidence: Showing solid progress but still seeking a major clay-court breakthrough at the elite level.
