Jack Draper’s run at the Italian Open is over after a straight sets defeat to Carlos Alcaraz on Wednesday afternoon. The scoreline doesn’t reflect the close contest fought between the two men who put on a centre court show that was ultimately decided by the Spaniard.

Draper battled fatigue and the shot-making variety of his French opponent to come through 1-6 6-4 6-3 in just over two hours in Rome.
