Carlos Alcaraz crashed out of his Indian Wells three-peat bid on Saturday, and nerves played a key role in “one of the worst sets I have played in my career.” A four-time Grand Slam champion, Alcaraz said he was too focused on what weapons British left-hander Jack Draper might bring and unable to calm the pre-match jitters that prevented him from rising to the occasion.

Carlos Alcaraz's attempt to secure a third consecutive Indian Wells title ended in a semi-final defeat to Jack Draper. Alcaraz cited nervousness as a larger issue than the loss itself and aims to learn from the experience for future tournaments.
