Madrid R4 previews and predictions: Draper vs. Paul, De Minaur vs. Musetti

• Posted on April 30, 2025

The remaining quarterfinal spots in Madrid will be handed out on Wednesday, when Jack Draper goes up against Tommy Paul. Another all-seeded fourth-round showdown features Alex de Minaur and Denis Shapovalov.(5) Jack Draper vs. (11) Tommy PaulDraper and Paul will be squaring off for the sixth time in their careers when they battle for a place in the quarterfinals of the Mutua Madrid Open on Wednesday. The head-to-head series stands at 3-2 in favor of Draper, who is 3-1 against Paul on outdoor hard courts and 0-1 on grass; they have never faced each other on clay. Both guys have been mostly outstanding in 2025, although it is Draper who is especially red hot right now whereas Paul has cooled off a bit since reaching the Australian Open quarterfinals and the Dallas semifinals. It has not been easy so far this fortnight for the 12th-ranked American, who beat Joao Fonseca in two tiebreakers and Karen Khachanov in three sets. Draper, on the other hand, defeated Tallon Griekspoor in easy straight sets and then got a retirement from Matteo Berrettini after taking the first set in a tiebreaker on Tuesday. Clay probably helps Paul to a minor extent, but the high altitude of Madrid basically offsets that advantage.Pick: Draper in 3 #ays-poll-id-687401291b20a.box-apm { width: 600px; margin: 0 auto !important;
