Draper is now up into the top five of the world rankings and is producing the best clay-court form of his career, having reached the final in Madrid last week. The 23-year-old had to battle back from a set down to beat Corentin Moutet in the last-16 yesterday and now meets Alcaraz for a third time this year.

Jack Draper admitted that he was left "dizzy" and "bamboozled" by Corentin Moutet as he addressed their incident-filled last-16 clash at the Italian Open. The Brit won 1-6, 6-4, 6-3 after his opponent called for a VAR review to overturn a point awarded to Draper in the second set.
