Britain’s Jack Draper retired in the third set of his Mexican Open semi-final against defending champion Alex de Minaur in Acapulco. After receiving treatment in the second set, Draper managed to win it 6-2. However, trailing 4-0 in the decider, he withdrew due to feeling unwell.

Draper conveyed his disappointment on Instagram, congratulating De Minaur and wishing him luck in the final. De Minaur acknowledged Draper’s effort and expressed hope for his quick recovery. In the final, De Minaur will face Norwegian Casper Ruud who defeated Holger Rune 3-6 6-3 6-4.
