Indian Wells Masters is the first Masters for both men and women this year. The tournament was held in California, USA from March 8 to March 19, 2023.
This year's Indian Wells Masters does not have the presence of Novak Djokovic because of issues related to the vaccine of Covid-19. Therefore, the number 2 in the world Carlos Alcaraz is the No. 1 seed of the men's singles. If he won the championship, he would also usurp Nole's No. 1.
Recently, Alcaraz has just completed the third round at Indian Wells. Here, the world's No. 2 tennis player encountered Tallon Griekspoor. Despite a little difficulty, he still won the final to win tickets to go on.
Entering set 1, two players no one won the break during 12 games. Therefore, they have to enter a series of tie-breaks. On the gun battle series, Alcaraz played bravery to win 7-4.
Set 2, everything becomes a lot easier with Alcaraz. The No. 1 seed won the break early in Game 2 to gain advantage. In the rest of the set, Griekspoor could not reclaim the break, thereby accepting the racket with defeat 3-6.
In the end, Alcaraz won 7-6 (4), 6-3 and officially won tickets to the fourth round of Indian Wells Masters 2023. Here, his opponent will be Jack Draper. The two players will meet around 8:00 am this morning 15/3.
Notably, with the defeat of Griekspoor, Alcaraz has officially reached 100 victory at ATP Tour in his career. The victory difference of the Spanish tennis player is currently 100-32.
