Draper Retires With Belly Harm

The fourth-round match I used to be most trying ahead to resulted in a moist squib as Jack Draper needed to retire towards Carlos Alcaraz early within the second set.

In Basel final yr, the pair had a high-quality encounter, however this one by no means actually received going as Alcaraz broke within the first sport, and other than some flashy forehands from Draper, it was a straightforward victory for the Spaniard, who’s again to world primary if he wins Indian Wells.

Medvedev Hits a Smash Off a Smash

Daniil Medvedev may hate the courts in Indian Wells, however that hasn’t stopped him from hitting some unbelievable pictures within the desert.

His most up-to-date got here towards Zverev within the fourth spherical, the place he got here up with a smash off a smash, considerably paying homage to Federer’s towards Roddick in Basel many moons in the past. Albeit not fairly as difficult to execute.

Tiafoe Makes Maidan Masters 1000 Semi-Last

Quiet isn’t a phrase you’d affiliate with Frances Tiafoe, however he’s flown underneath the radar to this point in Indian Wells, progressing to the final 4 with minimal fuss and with out dropping a set.

Nonetheless, he heads into his match with Medvedev with a 0-4 deficit within the H2H and might want to discover one thing further towards the person who’s gained three titles in a row.

Frances is a really pumped-up, fiery participant, so he can beat anybody on a great day. I’m certain he can beat Novak, Rafa. He really did beat Rafa within the US Open, which is large. For certain I have to strive my greatest to maintain this head-to-head at zero. That’s by no means simple and I simply have to indicate my greatest tennis and attempt to beat such an awesome opponent. Medvedev on dealing with Tiafoe

Alcaraz Dominates

Carlos Alcaraz continued his superb run in Palm Springs with a dominant straight-sets victory over Felix Auger-Aliassime.

Each gamers have hard-hitting video games and traded large blows from the baseline, however Alcaraz was the higher of the 2 on the enterprise finish of every set, making extra returns when wanted and successful greater than double the variety of return factors.

Sinner Sinks Fritz’s Title Defence Hopes

Jannik Sinner ended Taylor Fritz’s hope of defending his title with brutal hitting that took the racket out of the American’s hand.

Sinner’s groundstrokes are lethal even on the sluggish Indian Wells courtroom, and his forehand generates easy tempo and spin.

If the Italian can preserve the error rely down, which isn’t simple to do when he tries to play hyper-aggressive, then he’ll be a handful for Alcaraz, as we noticed of their marathon US Open quarter-final final yr.
