Live tennis commentary of Jack Draper v Carlos Alcaraz in the semi-finals of Indian Wells.

Jack Draper has improved a lot in recent months and has become a threat even to top players. The young Briton has truly remarkable potential and – if he reduces the number of his injuries – he has the right skills to aspire to win even the most prestigious titles.

Jack Draper defeated American Ben Shelton 6-4, 7-5 in the quarter-finals of Indian Wells, and will next face Carlos Alcaraz – who he has called the "benchmark".

Carlos Alcaraz has been hugely impressed by Jack Draper's rise and expects the Briton to be one of the leading players on the ATP Tour in the next 12 months.
