Jack Draper: The British number 1 had to retire injured after being two sets behind against Carlos Alcaraz | Tennis News
Jack Draper’s heroic run at the Australian Open came to an end after the British number 1 withdrew from his fourth-round clash against Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz at Rod Laver Arena.
