Draper beats Rune to win Indian Wells title

Britain's Jack Draper claimed the biggest title of his career with an assured win over Denmark's Holger Rune in the Indian Wells final.

Draper, 23, was dominant from the start as he brushed aside world number 13 Rune 6-2 6-2.

Lifting his first trophy at an ATP Masters event - the tier below the four Grand Slam tournaments - capped a landmark weekend for the British number one.

After beating Spain's Carlos Alcaraz in Saturday's semi-finals, 14th-ranked Draper was already guaranteed to climb into the world's top 10 for the first time - whatever happened against 21-year-old Rune.

The straight-set victory means the English left-hander will move up to seventh in the ATP rankings on Monday.

After sending a forehand long on his first championship point, Draper completed the job at the second attempt when Rune pushed a return wide with the Briton rushing to the net.

The US Open semi-finalist celebrated in composed fashion - smiling towards his support team, before kneeling down on court and contentedly patting the surface.
