Indian Wells: Jack Draper ‘looking forward to another shot’ vs Carlos Alcaraz after….

Draper defeated American Ben Shelton 6-4 7-5 in the quarter-finals on Thursday evening, and previously knocked out world No 4 Taylor Fritz in the round of 16.

The Brit has met Alcaraz once before at Indian Wells in a last-16 clash in 2023, with Alcaraz progressing after Draper was forced to withdraw injured while 6-2 2-0 behind.

The pair have met twice since, with Draper beating Alcaraz 7-6 (7-3) 6-3 in the last 16 at Queen’s in 2024, but the Spaniard knocked Draper out of the 2025 Australian Open in January.

“It feels incredible to do it [reach a first Masters 1000 semi-final] here in Indian Wells as well, a tournament I’ve watched since I was young,” Draper told Sky Sports Tennis.
Watching all the greats play on these courts, it means the world to me. Honestly, it’s why I play, why I put in all the hard work with my team and yes, I feel amazing today.
Alcaraz is going for the three-peat, but he loves these conditions. He plays amazing out here.
