Carlos Alcaraz had an easy ride in his third match in Indian Wells after his opponent Jack Draper had to withdraw in the second set while trailing 6-2 2-0 ret. The British player’s abdominal injury, which first surfaced late in his Monday victory over Andy Murray, forced him to retire.
After the match, Carlito wished Jack a prompt recovery with this lovely message.
Get well soon Jack! 💙
