Jack Draper vs Carlos Alcaraz Prediction
Jack Draper’s stunning form at Indian Wells continued on Thursday in the quarter-finals as he beat Ben Shelton 6-4 7-5 to continue his streak of winning all his matches in straight sets so far.
The quality of his play this week has been so high and he looks fit and fresh. That bodes well for his chances of success but now he faces a tough challenge in the shape of Carlos Alcaraz.
The Spanish star has also won all four of his matches to date in straight sets and he is looking equally as menacing as Draper. He has arguably had an easier route to this stage but he has still done what was required of him.
He comes off beating Francisco Cerundolo in the quarters 6-3 7-6 and the Argentine did test him as he created nine break points but could only take one of them.
The pair have met four times before and Alcaraz has won three of those. In two of his three wins including the Australian Open earlier this year, Draper retired but he was on course to lose both matches anyhow.
Alcaraz is the huge favourite to win this but the value on Draper is too good to turn down in our view. He is firing on all cylinders and barring a psychological hurdle from their previous meetings, we like his chances here. Draper and the over 22.5 total games is tempting in this one.
