Carlos Alcaraz reached his second Australian Open quarterfinal on Sunday when his opponent Jack Draper retired injured when trailing 7-5, 6-1.

The third-seeded Spaniard was well on top in the afternoon match at Rod Laver Arena against the Briton, who exited the court for a long medical timeout between sets.

“This is not the way that I want to get through to the next round. I’m just happy to play another quarterfinal here in Australia,” Alcaraz said on court.
