Jack Draper will meet Carlos Alcaraz in the semi-finals of the BNP Paribas Open at Indian Wells after knocking out America’s Ben Shelton in straight sets. It will be the British tennis player’s maiden Masters 1000 semi-final.

Carlos Alcaraz has been hugely impressed by Jack Draper's rise and expects the Briton to be one of the leading players on the ATP Tour in the next 12 months.

Jack Draper has improved a lot in recent months and has become a threat even to top players. The young Briton has truly remarkable potential and – if he reduces the number of his injuries – he has the right skills to aspire to win even the most prestigious titles.

Alcaraz is now just the third player to make four consecutive semifinal appearances at Indian Wells, following Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer. Those three are also the only men to win 16 consecutive matches at this event, and Alcaraz is seeking to join Djokovic and Federer as the only ones to win the title here three consecutive times.

Starting up top, Alcaraz is wearing the NikeCourt Advantage Men's Tennis Top in the "Team Red/Washed Coral/White" colorway. The performance top costs $85 in adult sizes on the Nike website.
