Why Jack Draper vs Alex de Minaur in the Paris Masters is vital to Brit’s chances of reaching ATP Finals | Tennis News

October 31, 2024:

Can Jack Draper qualify for the ATP Finals? The British No 1 takes on Alex de Minaur for a place in the quarter-finals of the Paris Masters on Thursday at 3pm – live on Sky Sports Tennis.

Draper, 22, still has an outside chance to qualify for the Nitto ATP Finals after a wonderful couple of months during which he has reached the semi-finals of the US Open, claimed his second ATP Tour title and recorded a career-high ranking of 15.

He could move within 135 points of the eighth-placed Andrey Rublev in the ATP Live Race To Turin by claiming the Paris title, with further points on offer in Metz and Belgrade (ATP 250 events) next week.

If Draper finishes in ninth or 10th he will travel to Turin as an alternate.

Draper is on a seven-match winning streak dating back to the start of his Vienna title run but he faces De Minaur today with the Australian sitting in ninth position in the ATP Live Race To Turin – one spot and just 75 points behind Rublev.
