Alcaraz is now just the third player to make four consecutive semifinal appearances at Indian Wells, following Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer. Those three are also the only men to win 16 consecutive matches at this event, and Alcaraz is seeking to join Djokovic and Federer as the only ones to win the title here three consecutive times.

Carlos Alcaraz has been hugely impressed by Jack Draper's rise and expects the Briton to be one of the leading players on the ATP Tour in the next 12 months.
