Indian Wells: Alcaraz gears up for “ambitious” Jack Draper in semifinal clash
The HinduTwo-time defending champion Carlos Alcaraz is bracing for a tough semifinal test from “ambitious” British lefty Jack Draper on Saturday as he aims to take the next step toward a rare Indian Wells ATP Masters three-peat. So that makes him a really tough opponent.” Two of Draper’s losses to Alcaraz have come by retirement -- including at Indian Wells in 2023 and in the Australian Open fourth round this year -- where he’d won three straight five-set matches before facing Alcaraz in the round of 16. “He brings so much to the court, especially in these conditions,” added Draper, who claimed his lone win over Alcaraz at Queen’s Club last year. “He’s setting the benchmark really high, and that’s good for a player like myself because I watch him and play against him, and I think what I need to do to be at his level.” In the other semifinal, Daniil Medvedev will also be seeking to reach a third straight final -- having come up short against Alcaraz in each of the past two years.
