Jack Draper vs Daniil Medvedev preview

Jack Draper and Daniil Medvedev are set to face each other in the men’s singles quarterfinals at the 2026 BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells.

Draper, the defending champion and the No. 14 seed, has showed glimpses of his aggressive, all-round game so far in his title defense. However, the Brit has also had to show character at times to get himself out of trouble. Two of the three matches he has played have gone the distance, with the most recent one being his memorable fourth-round win over former five-time Indian Wells champion Novak Djokovic.

Meanwhile, Medvedev, a former two-time runner up at the event, has been in fine form. The former World No. 1 Russian is yet to drop a set, having dispatched Alejandro Tabilo, Sebastian Baez and Alex Michelsen. Medvedev is running high on confidence at the moment, particularly because of his Dubai title triumph prior to his Indian Wells arrival. The Russian also clinched the Brisbane title at the start of the season.

Jack Draper vs Daniil Medvedev prediction

Draper’s game certaintly has what it takes to trouble the counterpunching style of Medvedev, and the Brit will certainly be confident about taking on the Russian, particularly after his epic fourth-round victory over Djokovic. However, at the same time, Medvedev is likely to be much fresher for the contest given the significantly less court time he has spent owing to his relatively straightforward outings so far.

The former No. 1 is also much more experienced than the defending champion at playing matches in deep stages of men’s tennis’ biggest events, and this experience could very well be Draper’s undoing in the last eight.

Pick: Medvedev to win in three sets.
