Alcaraz Dominates Draper and Reaches the Semifinals in Rome
After becoming the second-youngest player to qualify for all the Masters 1000 quarterfinals, Alcaraz continues his march forward in Rome. Facing Draper, the Spaniard secured the match in two sets (6-4, 6-4).
Effective on break points (4/4), the world No. 3 avenged his loss to the Brit at Indian Wells. The match lasted 1 hour and 37 minutes. Qualifying for the first time for the semifinals in Italy, the El Palmar native awaits his next opponent, likely to be Zverev or Musetti.
Alcaraz also reaches his 11th Masters 1000 semifinal, joining his coach Ferrero. The 22-year-old player now boasts 13 wins in 14 clay-court matches this season.
