Draper stuns Alcaraz to reach Indian Wells final

Britain's Jack Draper was helped by a controversial video assistant referee-style call in his favour to earn a coming-of-age win over Carlos Alcaraz and reach the biggest final of his career.

Draper, 23, stunned four-time major champion Alcaraz with a 6-1 0-6 6-4 victory in a dramatic semi-final at Indian Wells.

The British number one, who served out the match at the second attempt, will move into the world's top 10 for the first time in his career as a result.

The pivotal moment of a bizarre match in California came when England's Draper was rescued by video technology in the third game of the deciding set - and went on to break Alcaraz's serve.
