Carlos Alcaraz maintained its love affair with the Masters 1000 ATP in Indian Wells, where it will go to the quarterfinals for the third consecutive time, maintaining the positive dynamics of the ‘semi’ in 2022 and champion in 2023. Its streak is nine consecutive matches won in this tournament.
A confidence boost he needed after the quarterfinals of the Australian Open, the semifinals in Buenos Aires and the ankle injury in Rio. He regained his senses and self-esteem in the California desert.
He joins a list of qualifiers opened by Czech Jiri Lehecka, the 22-year-old who continues to grow on the circuit. This time at the expense of a Stefanos Tsitsipas in the crisis.
The lower part of the frame is stiff. Alcaraz will face the Australian in the quarterfinals on Thursday Alex de Minaur, with eight straight wins after becoming champion in Acapulco, or his executioner at the Australian Open, the German Alexander Zverev.
Whoever survives this sector will go through to the semis with Lehecka himself or the best in the explosive rivalry between Jannik Sinner and Ben Shelton.
In the upper part, there is no Serbian Novak Djokovic at stake after falling in Italian Luca Nardithe Russian Daniel Medvedev taking streaks, surrounded by high-level players.
