The first two sets took place in a strange way … strangely. Balanced by Nadal and Alcaraz both have a winning set. Strangely because both of them really 'prefer' to win the break rather than protecting the gaming game.

Nadal won the first set after winning 3 breaks and twice for Alcaraz to break the game. Alcaraz won set 2 in accordance with the script. The turning point of set 2 in the 9th game lasts more than 19 minutes. Alcaraz broke Nadal's gaming game at the opportunity … 8th I have.

The reason for up to 10 breaks appears in the first 2 sets partly because both Rafael Nadal and Carlos Alcaraz are not really strong in terms of serve. Throughout the second semi -final of Indian Wells Masters 2022, there were only 2 ACEs (all belonged to Nadal).

Unlike the first 2 sets, both players protect the game in the decisive set. Nadal, despite having difficulties from the youth of Alcaraz, still won important points to maintain a balance.

That balance was only broken in the 8th game. Even in the opportunity to win the first break that he had, Nadal took advantage of successfully.

The loss of breaking causes Alcaraz to go down psychologically. 18-year-old player lost the game later and failed with a score of 1-2 final.

The 20th consecutive victory in 2022 helped Nadal have the fifth time to win the right to play the Indian Wells Masters final. This is also the 53rd Masters 1000 final in the king's career on the ground.
