Norway's Casper Ruud stormed to a 7-5 3-6 6-4 victory over fifth seed Jack Draper in the Madrid Open final with a gutsy performance that showcased his claycourt mettle.

Jack Draper has claimed the hurt of losing the Madrid Open final will “fuel my fire” to get even better. "I think the exciting thing is there's so much more to come from myself,” said the new world No.5. “I am nowhere near where I want to be.”

An inspired Casper Ruud defeated Jack Draper in three set to win the Madrid Open title on Sunday. The 23-year-old Briton fought back to level the match after losing the opening set, but it was three-time grand slam finalist Ruud who held the edge on the crucial points.
