ATP London
Popyrin A. - Draper J.
🧠 Form & Context
Jack Draper
🌱 Homegrown hope: A two-time quarterfinalist at Queen’s Club, Draper continues to thrive on home soil.
🔥 Top 3 season: Indian Wells champion, Madrid finalist, and arguably the third-best player of 2025 behind Sinner and Alcaraz.
💪 Grass credentials: Former Wimbledon junior finalist with wins over Sinner (2021) and Alcaraz (2023) already on this surface.
🚀 Confident opener: Dismantled Brooksby 6–3, 6–1 in R1 with aggressive returning and smart point construction.
🧱 Physical maturity: Injuries in past years are behind him—he now blends power and endurance into a title-worthy combo.
Alexei Popyrin
🧨 Big game, low consistency: Powerful serve and solid baseline game but erratic execution under pressure.
📉 Struggled on grass historically: Entered this event with a 0–4 main-draw record at Queen’s and a career grass W/L of 24–25.
✅ Finally a win here: Beat fellow Aussie Vukic in R1 (6–2, 6–7, 7–6) for his first-ever main draw win at Queen’s.
🪙 Mixed 2025 form: Strong clay results (Monte Carlo QF, Geneva QF) but poor hard/grass transition.
🚫 Top-10 blues: Yet to beat a top-10 opponent on grass—lost to Djokovic at Wimbledon and Draper in Doha this year.
