Novak Djokovic shoots for a spot in the quarterfinals of the 2026 Indian Wells Open against Jack Draper. Djokovic is listed at -142 moneyline, but parlaying it with Draper at Under 12.5 Games bumps up the odds to +126.
Current Form:
For the second straight round, Novak Djokovic conquered a serve bot as he tamed Aleksandar Kovacevic 6-4, 1-6, 6-4 in the third round of the 2026 Indian Wells Open. Djokovic, who opened his campaign in tennis paradise with a 4-6, 6-1, 6-2 victory over Kamil Majchrzak, overcame Kovacevic’s 16 aces by winning 12 of 13 service games and racking up 31 return points, which led to two breakpoint conversions. A five-time Indian Wells winner, Djokovic holds a 7-1 record and 72.3% breakpoint saved percentage.
Jack Draper also moved on to the fourth round of the 2026 Indian Wells Open after sweeping Francisco Cerundolo 6-1, 7-5. Britain’s No.1 men’s singles player is on the verge of making the quarterfinals in his ATP tournament after his return from a left arm injury. Draper had also competed at the 2026 Dubai Tennis Championships, picking up a 7-6, 6-3 win over Quentin Halys before falling to Arthur Rinderknech in the next round, 5-7, 7-6, 4-6.

Our Novak Djokovic vs Jack Draper Prediction
Fearless Forecast: Novak Djokovic topples Jack Draper 6-4, 7-6
Djokovic is already a decent pick at -142, but pairing the moneyline pick with Jack Draper at Under 12.5 Games forms a compelling two-leg, same-game parlay valued at +126.
Djokovic has had to play six full sets to reach the fourth round at Indian Wells, yet concerns about his fitness as he goes deep into this tournament should be taken lightly, as the Serb still looked fresh even after his three-set win over Kovacevic.
Draper is slowly but surely nearing his pre-injury level. The Brit earned his biggest win since returning from injury, scoring his first ATP top-20 scalp against Francisco Cerundolo in the third round. But again, Draper’s path to top-10 form is still a work in progress. It’s a welcome opportunity for him to test his mettle against the 24-time Grand Slam winner in a high-leverage situation in the fourth round at Indian Wells, but I still don’t see the Brit offer much of a threat to Djokovic in this match.
Draper will be playing his fifth ATP Tour match since his comeback, while Djokovic has already compiled a 7-1 record on the season, including six straight victories to reach the Australian Open finals.
