He's back on form at last! After a complicated start to the year, Carlos Alcaraz, more motivated than ever, meets Alexandre Zverev in the quarter-finals of the Indian Wells ATP 1000 tournament. He's defending the title he won last year, and he's determined to keep it. And more than that, this match against the German will sound like revenge. Indeed, Carlitos lost to the same Zverev in the Australian Open 1/4-finals in a match that was very special indeed. The Murcian can count on his team in the Californian desert and on the return of his coach Juan Carlos Ferrero, back in the box after knee surgery. Their clash will mark their 9th meeting on the ATP circuit, with Zverev currently leading 5-3 in their head-to-head record.
The match is sure to be a tight one, as both men are in interesting form. Carlitos, however, is fluid in his movements and doesn't hesitate to take good risks. Alcaraz has demonstrated his resilience despite the challenge posed by a recent ankle injury. Zverev, for his part, is determined to finally win a major title and continue his ascent. It's going to be a fascinating spectacle for tennis fans, who will have the opportunity to see 2 of the most talented players of their generation go head-to-head in a setting as emblematic as the "Tennis Paradise" in Indian Wells.
Vamos Carlitos!
