Jack Draper and Carlos Alcaraz clash in a doozy of an Italian Open quarter-final as the British No 1 looks to take the next step on clay with a statement win.

Carlos Alcaraz says he has recovered from the muscle injuries that forced him to withdraw from the Madrid Open and is “100% ready” for the Italian Open where he hopes to renew his rivalry with Jannik Sinner.

Carlos Alcaraz has given an update on his physical condition after coming through his first serious test since returning from injury. The four-time Grand Slam champion overcame Karen Khachanov 6-3, 3-6, 7-5 in the fourth round of the 2025 Italian Open.

But he turned up at the Foro Italico nine hours before his third-round match and was immediately questioned by Alexander Zverev, who wanted to know why Alcaraz had arrived so early. And the Spaniard had a hilarious explanation, showing where his priorities lay.
