Jack Draper lines up against Alexei Popyrin today aiming for a straight-set victory, and the stats support this ambition. Draper has shown excellent serve performance on grass this month, including a 6–3, 6–1 win in his opener where he didn’t face a break point and logged multiple aces. Popyrin, while dangerous, has had inconsistent results on grass, and struggled with a brittle second serve during his first match.
Head-to-head, Draper leads 1-0 from Doha, where he broke Popyrin twice and never even faced a break point. Draper’s first-serve win percentage has hovered around 93% in recent matches, and he generates pressure off second serves, winning roughly 55% of those points. Popyrin serves at a decent clip but shows vulnerabilities under pressure and has fewer aces per game.
Draper’s grass-ready game—mixing flat, aggressive groundstrokes and strong net play—contrasts with Popyrin’s less varied style. Draper holds court control well, moving opponents around, while Popyrin struggles to impose his rhythm. Current trends show Draper is controlling matches quickly and decisively, and Popyrin is yet to find his footing on this surface. Backing Draper to win in straight sets is a confident, well-grounded call given their recent form and stylistic matchup.
