Jack Draper’s chase for a quarter-final berth at the Masters level continues on Wednesday in Madrid. The fifth seed will be up against Tommy Paul in the fourth round, with the winner set to meet Frances Tiafoe or Matteo Arnaldi. Read on for our prediction of the match. This is the sixth meeting between the two players, and Draper has a 3-2 lead on head-to-head records. The British No. 1 had an easy outing against Matteo Berrettini in the third round after the Italian retired in the second set. This win pushed his record for the season to 16-4. He will be pushing for a first-ever clay Masters quarter-final showing. At Madrid his best record was the second round, which he has since bettered. 

Tommy Paul is a much better player on clay than Draper, and showing that on the court will be his major agenda. This will be the first-ever meeting on clay between the two players. The American has played five times on clay this season and lost just once. He will seek to extend that, and his record for the season, which stands at 17-6 after beating Karen Khachanov in three sets. By getting to the fourth round, Paul has bettered his earlier performances in Madrid. His highlight for 2025 so far has been three separate semi-final appearances.
