Jack Draper upset third seed Carlos Alcaraz 6-1, 0-6, 6-4 in the semi-final of the Indian Wells Masters on hard court, delivering a major upset despite entering as a 3.68 underdog against Alcaraz's 1.33 favourite odds. The British player's performance was strikingly inconsistent, dominating the opener before collapsing entirely in the second set, then recovering composure to clinch the decider in a tightly contested third. Alcaraz, seeking to add another Masters title to his growing collection, was unable to sustain momentum after his opening-set defeat and failed to convert opportunities when they arose. Draper's capacity to recover from a humbling second-set loss and close out the match demonstrates the mental resilience required at this level. The result propels Draper into the Indian Wells final and represents a significant scalp against one of the tour's elite players.
