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.
However, when asked about the goal of winning, Alcaraz proved humble. He asserted that he was not the No. 1 candidate for the throne. The reason is because from the beginning of the year until now, this player has not played any hard grounds.
“I don't think I am the No. 1 championship, because I did not play on the hard pitch for quite a long time. However, the world's No. 1 is still my goal, and I will try my best. I love this tournament,” Alcaraz answered Marca.
Before the Indian Wells Masters, the fans were quite worried about Alcaraz's injury. However, the No. 1 seed has reassured fans.
“Now, I feel fine. This is the first day I practice with another player and feel very good. After a few days of vacation, I am ready,” Carlos Alcaraz said.
Due to injury, Alcaraz had to miss the first Grand Slam of the year as Australia expanded. After that, he re -appeared and competed at two clay grounds, Argentina Open and Rio Open. Here, the Spanish star has once crowned and once won the runner -up.
