Good night! Welcome to lovers of sports in general and tennis in particular to the round of 16 in Indian Wells, in which Carlos Alcaraz will be measured to the british Jack Draper. They only met once before and the victory was for the Spaniard in the tournament of Basel last year for 3-6, 6-2 y 7-5.
Alcaraz reaches the round of 16 after beating the Australian Thanasi Kokkinakis for a double 6-3 and the Dutch Tallon Greek Railway by 7-6 and 6-3. Draper, meanwhile, has eliminated the Swiss Leandro Riedi for a double 6-1 and two compatriots: Daniel Evans by 6-4 and 6-2 and Andy Murray by 7-6 and 6-2. The Spaniard was exempt from playing in the first round, which is why he has played one game less than Draper in the tournament.
Beware of this 21-year-old left-hander, who is better than his world ranking says (56). A dangerous rival for an Alcaraz (world number 2) who has options to snatch the number 1 from Djokovic, although for that he would have to win the tournament. An Alcaraz that seeks his victory 101after achieving 100 in the match against Griekspoor and becoming the second number 1 who has needed the fewest games to do so, after McEnroe. The game will start when the game ends. Kvitova-Pegula. We start!!!
