Jack Draper vs Jenson Brooksby preview
Thirteenth seed Jack Draper will face Jenson Brooksby in the third round of the BNP Paribas Open 2025.
Draper received a bye into the second round, where teen sensation Joao Fonseca awaited him. The Brit dealt the first blow in the opening set to go 2-1 up, courtesy of a break of serve in the third game. However, his younger rival was quick to get back on serve, securing a break of serve in the very next game to stay hot on his tail.
After a few comfortable service holds, Draper broke the impasse with a three-game run to clinch the set. He didn't take his foot off the pedal in the second set either and sprinted towards the finish line. He dished out a bagel to Fonseca to register a 6-4, 6-0 win.
Brooksby rallied from a set down to beat Benjamin Bonzi 1-6, 7-5, 7-5 in the first round here. He took on 17th seed Felix Auger-Aliassime in the second round, who finished as the runner-up at the Dubai Tennis Championships a week ago.
Neither player conceded any ground on their service games for most of the first set. Brooksby bucked the trend as he snagged a break of serve in the ninth game of the set to go 5-4 up. He served out the set in the following game after saving a couple of break points. The American took control of the second set in no time, reeling five games on the trot for a 6-4, 6-2 win.

Jack Draper vs Jenson Brooksby prediction
Draper gave Fonseca a reality check on his performance in the previous round. Brooksby's comeback this year after a prolonged hiatus started on a slow note. His first-round win over Bonzi was the first of his comeback. He will be feeling confident after taking out the in-form Auger-Aliassime in the second round.
However, Brooksby will need to switch up his tactics if he wants to get the better of Draper this time. The latter won both of their previous matches with ease, conceding a total of seven games across both of his victories. He has also improved a lot since their previous meeting in 2022.
Draper has competed in only a couple of tournaments this year but has performed well in them. He made the fourth round of the Australian Open and was a finalist at the Qatar Open. Given his form and record in this rivalry, he should be able to handle Brooksby without any issues.
Pick: Jack Draper to win in straight sets.
