Alcaraz celebrates in Indian Wells: 13th win in a row!

Carlos Alcaraz once again shows his outstanding talent at the ATP 1000 tournament in Indian Wells. The 21-year-old Spaniard, who already won the title in 2023 and 2024, continues his impressive series and wins the second round against Frenchman Quentin Halys 6:4, 6:2. How laola1.at reported, Alcaraz had a bit of luck in the first set: at 30:40 he had to play a risky second serve, which still secured him the set. After the first set was won, the four-time Grand Slam winner turned on the turbo in the second set and gave Halys no chance, so he was able to use his second match point after just 69 minutes.

Alcaraz, who has to navigate his career under the pressure of defending his titles, admitted after the game that he was nervous. "It's something that's in my head, but I don't really focus on it," he said. He sees each tournament participation as unique and emphasized that he wants to focus on improving his game in order to return to the top. Jannik Sinner, one of the main competitors, is missing due to a suspension for an anti-doping rule violation, which offers Alcaraz additional opportunities - a fact he is well aware of tennis.com reported.

Next step

With this victory, Alcaraz celebrates its 13th consecutive victory in Indian Wells and will face Canadian Denis Shapovalov in the next round. The Spaniard is determined to successfully continue his title defense and at the same time conquer the currently vacant number 1 spot.
