Alcaraz gets revenge on Auger-Aliassime and aims for title and world number 1 at Indian Wells

I like Carlos Alcaraz to celebrate this win. This is not one of the 102 that he has on the ATP Tour after the dispute of 134. There is a special part against one of his rivals that he must fight for many seasons for tournaments and privileged positions.

Alcaraz, 19 years old and world number 2, is seeking revenge against the Canadian Felix Auger-Aliassime22 years old and nº 10, and proved it with his first win in four games against a French-led rival Frederic Fontang and Toni Nadal.

The tennis player from El Palmar won 6-4, 6-4 in the two-hour quarterfinal match. In the semifinals, on Saturday, another generational opponent awaits, the Italian Jannik Sinnerwhich ensured the proclamation of a new Indian Wells ATP Masters 1000 champion by ousting the defending champion, the American taylor fritz by 6-4, 4-6 and 6-4.

On the other side of the table, for another place in the final, the cross between Russian Daniel Medvedev and the american Frances Tiafoe.

Lots of box levels, and tennis. An additional incentive for Carlos Alcaraz, who aims to have a double in the California desert. He wants the title left last year in the hands of Rafael Nadal in the semifinals, which he will also decorate by reclaiming the world number one that he occupies Novak Djokovic since the Australian Open.

Three Alcaraz tournaments, three semifinals

Just three contests so far this season, in which he has added two hamstring injuries to his right leg, and the Murcian has not disappointed. Champion of Buenos Aires, finalist in Rio de Janeiro defying victory despite playing on one leg and in the penultimate round of his first event of the hard court campaign.

Electricity. Quickly. This is a high speed train Carlos Alcarazwell driven in extreme situations of Juan Carlos Ferrerowhich mixed technical slogans with indulgence and encouragement in moments of compromise.

Alcaraz’s first ‘break’ of Auger in the 17th time

The list of winners with Auger Alissime invited to walk with lead feet. In three lost matches, Alcaraz failed to break the American’s serve despite eleven break points. He had to wait until the seventeenth, the sixth in this match at Indian Wells. In the fifth game of more than eleven minutes, Carlitos finally chewed the satisfaction of destroying this rival.

He ended up giving her the first set, which she closed out with some nerves and held up a break point before the match. The importance of the moment, of taking advantage of an opponent with a bad memory.

With 6-1, 1-0 and serve Alcaraz He had a well-marked route to the semifinals. But Auger-Aliassime He has quality and a competitive character, not in vain in the quarterfinals he followed six balls of the ‘match’ in tommy paul. And he quickly made up for that loss by breaking (1-1), the Spaniard’s first of the tournament.

There are many ‘highlight’ points, amazing, but always with Carlos Alcaraz who moves more easily. He was superior, and finished his excellent game after two hours of fighting.

Palmares Alcaraz – Sinner: 2-2

The ambitious double target at Indian Wells continues to take shape. There will be a fifth confrontation at Jannik Sinner21 years old and world number 13. They tied the current 2-2 tie, with the match point saved by Carlos Alcaraz as a positive memory as it led him to conquer the final US Opentake revenge for the elimination in Wimbledon and losing the final to Umag.
