Carlos Alcaraz and Jack Draper will take on each other in the round of 16 matchup of the 2023 Indian Wells Masters on March 15.
Carlos Alcaraz has been the star kid that has got the whole world talking and he will be even more confident at the Indian Wells Masters after his recent win at the Argentina Open where he beat Norrie in the finals and on the way also beat the likes of Zapata Miralles, Lajovic and Djere. At the Swiss Indoors, he made it to the semi-finals losing to Auger-Aliassime in straight sets, and at the Paris Masters, he had to withdraw from the match against Rune when the latter was winning that match 3-6, 6-6. He was a huge success at the US Open after which he took a month’s gap from tennis. He beat Ruud in the final in what was a four-set thriller for the fans. In the Rio Open, he again made it to the finals but this time lost the title despite winning the first set of the match to Cameron Norrie who took revenge for his defeat in Argentina. In the ongoing Indian Wells, he beat Kokkinakis in the first-round matchup by 6-3, 6-3 and in the round of 32 matchup, he beat Griekspoor by 7-6, 6-3.
Jack Draper has been in decent form recently winning three of the last five matches he has played in and looks to start the year on a high. He hasn’t made it to the later stages of any of the major tournaments he has played in the last couple of months. He lost to Kwon Soon-woo in the Adelaide International 2 a few days ago in the semi-final stage after beating Khachanov, Tommy Paul, and Sonego on the way. In the Adelaide International 1, he lost to Khachanov in the round of 16 stage after beating KwonSoon-woo in the first round. At the Next Gen ATP Finals, he lost at the semis to Nakashima after beating Musetti, Tseng, and Stricker. In the ongoing Indian Wells, he beat Riedi in the first-round matchup by 1-6, 1-6, and in the round of 64 matchup, he beat Evans by 4-6, 2-6. In the last-round matchup, he beat Murray by 7-6, 6-2.
