Latest news, What happened with Carlos Alcaraz at Indian Wells? From ball controversy with Jack Draper to nerves and bizarre scoreline in loss…Read more<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Carlos Alcaraz’s campaign at the 2025 Indian Wells tournament concluded with a semi-final loss to Jack Draper, marked by a series of unusual events. The match, ending 6-1, 0-6, 6-4 in Draper’s favor, showcased dramatic shifts in momentum and a notable controversy.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the deciding set, a contentious moment arose involving a double-bounce call. Draper lunged to return an Alcaraz drop shot, and the chair umpire initially ruled the ball had bounced twice, awarding the point to Alcaraz. However, Draper challenged this decision, prompting a video review that overturned the call, leading to the point being replayed. This incident added tension to the match, but Alcaraz later stated that his disappointment stemmed more from his performance than the umpire’s decision.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The match’s scoreline reflected its erratic nature. Draper dominated the first set 6-1, capitalizing on numerous errors from Alcaraz. The Spaniard rebounded emphatically in the second set, winning 6-0. The final set remained closely contested until Draper secured the decisive break. Alcaraz attributed his inconsistent performance to nerves and a lack of focus, acknowledging that he was preoccupied with Draper’s game rather than concentrating on his own strategy.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This defeat ended Alcaraz’s 16-match winning streak at Indian Wells, preventing him from achieving a rare third consecutive title at the event. Despite the setback, Alcaraz expressed determination to learn from the experience and shift his focus to the upcoming Miami Open, aiming to defend his title th<\/p>\n
