The victory was dramatic and included a crucial moment where a video assistant referee-style review played a role in his win.

At that point, the score was tied at 1-1 and the game was at 15-15.

The umpire, Mohamed Lahyani, mistakenly ruled that the ball had bounced twice before Draper reached it.

However, Indian Wells now allows players to use video review for double-bounce decisions.

Draper challenged the call, and the review confirmed that the umpire was wrong which allowed him to continue the point and eventually break Alcaraz’s serve.

The 23-year-old will compete against Denmark's Holger Rune in the final match of the Masters 1,000 tournament in California on Sunday.
