Carlos Alcaraz has the chance to avenge his loss to Jack Draper at the Indian Wells Masters. The two will clash in the first quarter-final at the Rome Masters, this match marking their sixth meeting. The winner here faces either Lorenzo Musetti or Alexander Zverev, and below is our prediction.

Both players dropped a set in their latest outings. Jack Draper, for the first time in Rome, lost a set; that happened in his match against Corentin Moutet. That was his eighth win in the last 10 matches.

The British No. 1 will be keen to equalize their head-to-head standings. From the five meetings with Alcaraz, Draper suffered three defeats.

Alcaraz will be looking to extend his record against Draper. While the two have faced off five times, none of the matches was on clay. This meeting on clay should, therefore, favor Alcaraz.

With a 27-5 record, the Spaniard will not be too concerned about facing a tough opponent. On clay this season, Alcaraz has lost just one of his 13 matches on clay this season – at the Barcelona Open final.

He has since put up a powerful run in Rome after missing the Madrid Masters for recovery. In the fourth round here, Alcaraz had to sweat through a three-set win over Karen Khachanov.
