Alcaraz to Face Draper in Rome: "I Want Revenge for Indian Wells"

Qualified for the quarterfinals of the Rome Masters 1000, Carlos Alcaraz will face Jack Draper, who eliminated him just before the final in Indian Wells before going on to win the title.

In a press conference after his victory over Karen Khachanov, the Spaniard stated his desire for revenge: "I'm ready and excited to face him. He's one of the best players in the world right now.

His recent results show just how well he's playing. I want revenge for Indian Wells. I’ll try to be better prepared than I was back then. It will be an interesting match to watch and to play.

He’s very solid. Every shot he hits is powerful and very aggressive. He tries to play as aggressively as possible, which makes him a formidable opponent.

Every point is a battle. He’s improved a lot physically. With his serve, he’s become a very complete player."
