British No 1 Draper was left hobbled after a brutal run to the last 16 and called time after two sets against the classy Alcaraz, who could meet Djokovic in the quarter-finals

Jack Draper has pulled out of the Australian Open after losing the first two sets to Carlos Alcaraz. The British No.1 had suffered a hip injury before Christmas to prevent playing any warm-up events. And the No.15 seed reached the fourth round here by winning three five-set epic matches.

Carlos Alcaraz reached his 10th career Grand Slam quarterfinal, tied for the most by a man before his 22nd birthday, by advancing at the Australian Open 2025 when 15th-seeded Jack Draper stopped playing because of injury after dropping the first two sets Sunday.
