Jack Draper’s clay court campaign has been one of promise, grit, and growing maturity. However, after falling to Carlos Alcaraz at the Italian Open, the rising British star made it clear that he is not content with simply showing progress—he wants to be among the best.

Carlos Alcaraz avenged his Indian Wells semi-final defeat to Jack Draper by beating the Londoner in straight sets to reach the Italian Open semis.

Laura Robson believes Jack Draper was ‘frustrated’ mentally and got ‘a bit down on himself’ in Wednesday’s Italian Open defeat to Carlos Alcaraz. The British No.1 aimed a tirade at his coaching team in the stands as Alcaraz defeated him 6-4 6-4 in the quarter-finals of the event in Rome.
