Draper Stuns Hurkacz
Despite having gone into his second round match against Hurkacz as an 8/5 underdog with bet365, Draper looked to have shrugged off his fitness concerns but more vitally he looked to be playing at the level he would have expected from his own self.
Draper needed two hours and nine minutes and was a straight-set winner over his 17th-ranked opponent, cruising to a 6-2, 6-4, 7-5 victory.
What was even more fascinating was Draper was broken just once in the match even as he overcame his opponent’s serve five times from the 11 opportunities he had. This victory also followed his straight-set win over Radu Albot in the first round.
With Draper having begun the season on a strong note as he reached the semifinal of the Adelaide International and the fourth round at the Indian Wells Masters, he will now look to make it three in three. He has a good chance to do that as well with bet365 offering 7/20 for his win.

Mmoh Ends Isner’s Career
After having gotten past Karen Khachanov in the first round – and done that with consummate ease as well – Mmoh looked like he was on his way out of the competition when he fell two sets to love down to John Isner in the second.
Two half hours later, he had turned the match on its head as he scrambled to a 3-6, 4-6, 7-6 (3), 6-4, 7-6 (10-7) victory over the retiring Isner.
Mmoh did not lose his serve even once over the last three sets but he did face a match-point on his own serve in the final set. He saved that, dragged the decider into a tie-breaker where he went from 5-5 to win it 10-7.
Things are bound to get more difficult when he faces the in-form Draper but Mmoh will give himself a chance given his opponent’s issues with his fitness. He is 11/5 (with bet365) to win this.
Draper v Mmoh Prediction and Tip
Draper will start off a favourite and should not have a lot of difficulties here. We think Mmoh’s fighting will come to the fore though and could push Draper into a fourth or even a fifth set.
Tips:
- Low Risk Tip: Draper to win: 2/5 (with bet365)
- Moderate Risk Tip: Draper to win AND Both players to win a set: 13/10 (with bet365)
