Jack Draper had to retire against Carlos Alcaraz because of a stomach injury

Jack Draper was forced to retire in the second set of his fourth-round clash with Carlos Alcaraz at Indian Wells.

The 21-year-old Briton was eventually overwhelmed by an abdominal injury sustained in his previous game against Andy Murray.

He went head to head with the Spanish number two in the opening stages, but lagged noticeably as the first set progressed.

Draper’s serve and movement suffered as Alcaraz ran away with the opener 6-2.

A few treatments from the physios between sets did little to improve his condition and the world No. 43 was only able to last two games in the second set before retiring.

The result means Alcaraz are within three wins of reclaiming the world rankings.
