Britain's Jack Draper claimed the biggest title of his career with an assured win over Denmark's Holger Rune in the Indian Wells final.
Draper, 23, was dominant from the start as he brushed aside world number 13 Rune 6-2 6-2.
Lifting his first trophy at an ATP Masters event - the tier below the four Grand Slam tournaments - capped a landmark weekend for the British number one.

After beating Spain's Carlos Alcaraz in Saturday's semi-finals, 14th-ranked Draper was already guaranteed to climb into the world's top 10 for the first time - whatever happened against 21-year-old Rune.
The straight-set victory means the English left-hander will move up to seventh in the ATP rankings on Monday.
"I'm incredibly happy, obviously, and incredibly proud of my achievements this week," Draper told BBC Sport.

What happened to Emma Raducanu?
  Did she sprain her wrist opening a bottle of Evian.   ;D

I get the impression you don't like her!

A proper English name, for sure. Is she from the Yorkshire Radacanus or the Wessex Radacanus? Does anybody know?
