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

Carlos Alcaraz sent a touching message of support to Jack Draper after the Briton was forced to retire injured in their fourth round match at the Australian Open. The Spaniard was pushed hard in a competitive first set, but Draper’s body, battered from three straight five-set matches in Melbourne, could not keep pace.

Jack Draper’s physical issues returned at the Australian Open and he lasted only two sets of his fourth-round clash with Carlos Alcaraz. The British number one came into the tournament with little preparation after a hip injury suffered in pre-season, which he admitted he was still having to manage.
