11:10 CET -  There are just two matches to go at Indian Wells with Aryna Sabalenka and Mirra Andreeva contesting the women's final at 19:00 CET before Holger Rune and Jack Draper fight for the men's title.

We'll be back with a new tracker to bring you coverage of those matches and in the meantime check out Carlos Alcaraz's reaction to his defeat here and Draper's thoughts on his win here.

01:25 CET - Jack Draper pulls off the upset, as he defeats Carlos Alcaraz 6-1, 0-6, 6-4 in a gripping semi-final. After the first two sets - both of which were one-sided - the Brit managed to hold his nerve, and his serve, to advance to the final. He converted four of his five break-point opportunities. While he hit just 13 winners in the match, he was the more consistent server in the end.

00:35 CET - That was quite the response from Alcaraz, who won the second set 6-0. He number two seed managed to halve his unforced errors count from the first set, going from 13 to 7. He also improved his first serve percentage up to 50 per cent from 38. The deciding set should be intriguing now.

00:05 CET - What a blistering start from Draper, as the Brit wins the first set 6-1 in just 23 minutes over Alcaraz. The 13 seed was nearly flawless on his serve, winning 85% of his first serve points. He also broke the Spaniard twice. converting at the first time of asking on both occasions. The two-time defending champion is in trouble.

23:48 CET - The second semi-final is underway! Follow all the action here.

23:28 CET - Next up is a box office clash between world number three Carlos Alcaraz and world number 14 Jack Draper. Alcaraz goes in as slight favourite but Draper has improved vastly in the last six months or so and the US Open semi-finalist will be a tough test. 

The Brit has had an impressive tournament so far too and whilst Alcaraz has looked imperious at times, Draper also goes into this with confidence. 

23:22 CET - Holger Rune has pulled off the shock win to book his place in the Indian Wells final! Rune has been controlled and consistent all tournament and he was once again dominant in his impressive 7-5, 6-4 win over Daniil Medvedev.

It is disappointment for Medvedev who would have fancied his chances of making the final beforehand. 

22:46 CET - Is a shock on the cards this evening? Holger Rune has been on his game so far and despite Daniil Medvedev putting some pressure on the Dane's serve earlier in the set, it was Rune who eventually broke Medvedev's serve to take the first set 7-5.

21:37 CET - So it is Daniil Medvedev to serve first as the opening semi-final gets underway from Indian Wells! This should be good...
