Carlos Alcaraz had a message for Jack Draper after the Brit ended his three-year unbeaten run in Indian Wells. Alcaraz was on a 16-match winning streak at the tournament, lifting the title in 2023 and 2024. But Draper shocked him in the semi-final, sealing a topsy-turvy 6-1 0-6 6-4 victory.

Jack Draper ousted defending champion Carlos Alcaraz from Indian Wells in a bizarre semi-final that featured a pivotal double-bounce controversy early in the deciding set.

Draper ran through a Murder's Row of players to reach the semifinals against Alcaraz. He beat Brazilian rising star João Fonseca in his first match, before beating American Jenson Brooksby next. He then beat the top two of the three top Americans, third-seeded Taylor Fritz and 11th-seeded Ben Shelton.
