The Indian Wells Masters 1000 will experience its dream semifinal this Saturday. Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner will face each other for a place in the final and number 2 in the ranking in a rivalry that would soon become a great tennis classic of the next decade.
The sinners prevailed in their confrontations 4-3, with wins in the last two games (Miami and Beijing) and is the strongest tennis player in the world right now.
An impressive 19-0 in their last 19 games (all victories in 2024 and three since the last Davis Cup) accumulates transalpine, which this year won the Australian Open (his first ‘grand slam’) and Rotterdam, something that does not encourage him.
“Carlos is always fun to play with. We are good friends off the beaten path. On the court, we just try to give each one hundred percent,” said the Italian in a press conference after defeating Jiri Lehecka.
“I think we have a good attitude on the court. Normally our games are good. ELast year against him, especially here on the court, I had a lot of problems. He plays better than me. Two weeks later I played in Miami against him and won so we’ll see,” he added.
Regarding the keys to the match, Sinner said that “every player, when fighting to win or win, has a point where he has to work. It’s not just Carlos. There are other players who made me grow as a player. When you reach this kind of level , you have to work again for different things. He will definitely change some things trying to beat me. I have to be ready. If he beats me, we’ll have to go back to working on the little details. I think it’s really cool and beautiful to look at.“.
“I think the Big 3 or the previous Big 4 did the same. We try to do the same thing, right? But who will be next, you know, the best players, we don’t know yet because we are all very young. If we look at each tournament it’s a bit different. But yeah, I think it’s also an exciting part,” he added.
