Decaffeinated final, far from the emotions experienced throughout the tournament, but with a well-deserved champion. Jack Draper has claimed the title at Indian Wells 2025 after being far superior to an ailing Holger Rune, who seemed physically discomforted and completely blocked both mentally and in his tennis game. The final result was 6-2 6-2 in favor of the Brit.
It is never easy to play a Masters 1000 final, a situation where nerves run high, and where it is essential to demonstrate the intangible qualities of a champion that are necessary to reign in this sport. At Indian Wells 2025, two men faced off whose experience in these types of matches was divergent, with Holger Rune having more baggage. However, it was Jack Draper who performed at his best and did not shy away from the opportunity to win a major title.
From the start of the first set, it was clear that the Dane was not feeling his best. Mentally subdued, sluggish on his feet, fatigued in every exchange, and lacking tactical clarity, Rune could not find a comfortable rhythm to harm his opponent. Draper emerged as a complete player, with attacks both precise and brave, showcasing great resilience.

He completely extinguished any glimmer of hope in Holger, who tried to hold on to the chance of a comeback in the second set, only to face an early break. The Brit lost some shine but capitalized on his opponent's passivity, maintaining a good balance and continuing to control the game on court. Holger Rune did not even muster the courage to roll up his sleeves and seek alternative solutions, surrendering much more easily than expected to a simply brilliant Jack Draper. The British player is a deserving champion of Indian Wells 2025, concluding a dream week in the Californian desert.
