Apologies if there’s a dedicated tennis thread elsewhere.

Jack Draper beats Alcaraz to reach the Indian Wells final, possibly the biggest tournament outside of slams and moves into the worlds top ten. Might be harsh to say the 3 set format suits him physically but Draper is looking the real deal. Nice to have some British interest again.

I see Radacanu's latest coach has lasted all of two weeks.

Another one! Must be some kind of record.

And he won the final. Which puts him at World number 7

Yep, played Brilliant all week and looks like he belongs inside the world top ten. Cameron Norrie (Brit No2) had a good spell a couple of years ago to reach number 8 but always looked a bit awkward around the court to me. Draper seems to have all the tools.

The next one will be her eighth. She's only 22!

Well coach or no coach that was a great performance by ER this evening.
