Draper of Great Britain is set to play his first match since injuring his hip in the fourth round of the 2025 Australian Open on Monday, battling Alexei Popyrin of Australia in the first round of the 2025 ATP Qatar Open. Draper has spent the last three weeks recovering and rehabilitating the injured hip, which derailed his impressive run at the 2025 Australian Open. The Brit had to play through the pain to reach the round of 16 of the first Grand Slam tournament of the year. However, he could no longer bear the pain during his face-off with Carlos Alcaraz, withdrawing from the match after losing the first two sets, 7-5 6-1 ret. Popyrin is 0-3 to begin the 2025 ATP season, losing in the first round of the Brisbane International, Australian Open and Rotterdam Open. The Aussie has lost 9 of his last 14 matches since clinching a spot in the fourth round of the 2024 US Open.

Our Alexei Popyrin vs Jack Draper Prediction
Draper’s chance of winning this match vs. Popyrin will heavily hinge on the status of his injured hip. Has it already healed after just three weeks? Honestly, I am a bit skeptical about it. I don’t think we will see 100 percent from Draper in this first-round duel. Popyrin might be in a slump, but he’s not a scrub. He can play at high level and certainly possess the skill to beat any player on the tour on a good day. For that, our betting prediction for Alexei Popyrin vs. Jack Draper: Popyrin will win.
