Taylor Fritz vs Jack Draper prediction
A gripping encounter is on the cards between Taylor Fritz and Jack Draper in the quarterfinals of the BMW Open. Both players have made a slow start to their clay court swing and will be eager to make a deep run in Munich.
Fritz has been knocking on the door to make a significant impact on tour in the last two years. He will be hoping to raise his level and register a strong result this year. The American is one of the cleanest timers of the tennis ball and has a steady all-around game on court.
Draper, on the contrary, has also been impressive since his arrival on the main tour. He will feel gutted to have not captured a title so far, despite making the finals of the Sofia Open 2023 and Adelaide International 2024. The youngster has used his serve and forehand to good effect in the last couple of matches and only conceded two break points against Rudolf Molleker in the previous round.
Ultimately, the player who recovers well and executes their strategy to the tea will have the upper hand in this bout. The Munich crowd can expect a close contest between the duo. Draper has the pedigree to present a stern challenge to Fritz, but the American should be able to withstand the early pressure and use his experience at the highest level to win.
Pick: Fritz to win in three-sets.
