Draper and Berrettini: A Clash of Form at the 2025 Madrid Open
Jack Draper and Matteo Berrettini will face off in the round of 16 at the 2025 ATP Madrid Open, held at the Caja Magica in Madrid, Spain. Both players received byes in the first round and advanced to the second, where Draper won in straight sets against Tallon Griekspoor. Meanwhile, Berrettini fought back from a set down to secure a comeback win over Marcos Giron.
Draper, currently in red-hot form, reached the finals of the Qatar Open and won his first ATP Masters 1000 title at the Indian Wells Masters, where he defeated top players like Carlos Alcaraz, Taylor Fritz, and Holger Rune. In contrast, Berrettini has been struggling to find his rhythm. The Italian had an early exit at the Australian Open and suffered back-to-back quarterfinal defeats at the Qatar Open, where he was beaten by Draper, and at the Miami Open, falling to Fritz after a hard-fought battle.
Jack Draper vs. Matteo Berrettini head-to-head falls in Draper’s favor with a 2-0 record. They had their first encounter in the final of the 2024 Stuttgart Open, where Draper made a comeback win after losing the first set, including a tiebreaker win in the second set. Draper won again a year later in their second encounter at the 2025 Doha quarterfinal, overcoming a first-set loss to win the last two sets

What a match.
Two points away from losing, Matteo showed a ton of resilience.
He hit some rocket forehands today.
The last time he played this event in 2021… he reached the final.
Good signs. 🔨

Draper has been on a tear recently, winning the Indian Wells Masters and securing 14 wins in 18 matches this season. As an all-court player, he’s versatile enough for Madrid; however, Berrettini’s experience, his powerful serve and forehand, and his proven success on clay, with six of his ten career singles titles coming on the surface, make him a strong contender as well.
Prediction: Matteo Berrettini in straight sets
