Carlos Alcaraz came to Indian Wells Masters 2024 as the defending champion and the No. 2 seed of the tournament. The Spanish tennis player is very determined to protect the throne and release the thirst for the title. Accordingly, since the Wimbledon championship last year, he has not yet crowned in any tournament.
After being exempted from the first round, Alcaraz had just matched the Indian Wells Masters 2024. His opponent Matteo Arnaldi – the player ranked 40 ATP. It seemed that the Spanish star would have an easy match, but Arnaldi was surprised in Set 1.
Accordingly, Alcaraz is the one who won the previous break in game 7. Two players then had to pull together in a series of tie-breaks, with a 7-5 victory in favor of Arnaldi.
Even so, the young Italian player lost the game too quickly. Entering the following 2 sets, he lost quickly, respectively with the score 0-6 and 1-0. This result also helped Alcaraz officially win tickets to the third round.
Notably, the next opponent of Alcaraz will be Felix Auger -anssime. The two players will meet tomorrow morning 11/3.
