shared a short message on social media to reflect on his campaign at the 2026 Indian Wells Masters after his title defence came to an end.<\/p>\n<p>The British star\u2019s nine-match winning streak in Indian Wells ended with a 6-1, 7-5 quarter-final loss to world No 11 Daniil Medvedev on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/jack-draper\">Draper<\/a>\u2018s defeat came less than 24 hours after his thrilling three-set victory over 24-time Grand Slam champion Novak Djokovic in a fourth round match that lasted two hours and 35 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>The 24-year-old also overcame Francisco Cerundolo and Roberto Bautista Agut during his run in Tennis Paradise.<\/p>\n<p>In 2025 Draper, won the Masters 1000 tournament in Indian Wells, which remains the biggest title of his career to date.<\/p>\n<p>Draper is still in the early stages of a comeback from a bone stress injury in his left arm \u2014 which forced him to end his 2025 season in August.<\/p>\n<p>He returned after almost six months out to win a Davis Cup match on 5 February before making his ATP Tour return at the Dubai Championships later that month. Draper had played just three matches since last year\u2019s US Open before his arrival in Indian Wells.<\/p>\n<h2>Indian Wells News<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/atp-tour\/atp-rankings-jack-draper-big-drop-even-bigger-slide-coming-months\"><strong>ATP Rankings: Jack Draper set for big drop and here is why he faces an even bigger slide in coming months<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/atp-tour\/indian-wells-open-video-what-daniil-medvedev-jack-draper-said-controversial-hindrance-call\"><strong>Indian Wells Open: Watch as Daniil Medvedev and Jack Draper argue over hindrance call<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Want more from Tennis365?
