Jack Draper fights back to reach Doha Semis, while Carlos Alcaraz falls out Jack Draper

Jack Draper reached the Qatar Open semi-final in Doha after fighting Matteo Berrettini in three strenuous sentences. The No. 1 of the British men, who went out a month with a hip injury before his return to this week, overcame the 28-year-old Italian 4: 6, 6: 4, 6: 3 and opposite Jiri Lehecka in the last four.

Draper had his third service game slipped on the way to the loss of the first sentence before Berrettini broke for the first time with 5: 4 in the second against the upgrading of Berrettini. The eighth seed broke the surcharge of Berrettini for the second time to move 3-1 in the decision, and this turned out to be crucial when it then excluded the Breakpoint against it to lead 5: 2 before it is convenient for the game served.

Unsed Lehecka had previously created a big surprise by triggering World No 3 and Wimbledon Champion Carlos Alcaraz 6-3, 3-6, 6-4. The Tschecher recovered from a separation in the opening set with two of his own breaks and after dropping the second set, the world No. 25 struck back in the determination of 4: 2. The great Lehecka-Big-Hitting-Lehecka amazed Alcaraz by winning the Spaniard’s last two service games to achieve his first victory against a top three player.

Felix Auger-Aliasseime took his place in the last four after the world No. 6, Daniil Medwedev, because he retired after the loss of the first set 6-3. Canada’s Auger-Al. Rublev, the World No. 10, won a final draw to defeat the Australian second seed Alex de Minaur 6-1, 3-6, 7-6 (8).
