Defending champion Carlos Algaras of Spain stops Australian Open winner Janick Sinner Again reaching the finals at Indian Wells. At the ATP Masters, Alcaraz defeated the Italian 1:6, 6:3, 6:2 in the semifinals, handing Sinner his first loss of the year. “It's unbelievable to me to end something like that.” Algaraz said as he ended Sinner's streak after 19 wins, successfully defending his second place in the world rankings. The first set was interrupted by rain for 3 hours. In the quarterfinals, Alcazar defeated Alexander Zverev after a beehive interference.
Sinner, ranked third in the world, has not lost a match since November 19, 2023 (against Novak Djokovic). “It's definitely not the result I wanted, but it's always difficult to play against him,” said the 22-year-old Sinner. For Algarez, the final will be a rematch of last year's final against Daniil Medvedev. The Russian players also had to compensate for the loss against the local player from USA Tammy Ball 1:6, 7:6 (7:3), 6:2.
