Jack Draper upset Carlos Alcaraz on his favorite court in the world Saturday at the BNP Paribas Open at Indian Wells, sprinting to a lead and weathering an Alcaraz blitz, then holding it together and letting Alcaraz play just loose enough to give him the opening to break the Spanish champion who had not lost here in nearly three years.

Draper drew Alcaraz's mistake for a break and a massive 5-2 advantage. A left-hander served for the win in game eight and experienced a break at 15 to keep his rival in contention. Carlos closed the ninth game and reduced the gap to 5-4.
