With this victory, Alcaraz’s first over a Top 10 opponent since defeating Casper Ruud in the US Open final, he moved closer to reclaiming the top rank in the Pepperstone ATP Rankings.
On the other hand, Jannik Sinner was on a five-match winning streak, excepting his withdrawal in the fourth round of last year, while Taylor Fritz was on a nine-match winning streak entering their BNP Paribas Open quarterfinal on Thursday. Fritz was the defending champion.
It was evident throughout a competitive clash that both players were at ease in Indian Wells. Sinner won 6-4, 4-6, 6-4 thanks to his decisive striking, which made all the difference in the crucial moments of the contest.

Carlos Alcaraz vs Jannik Sinner H2H record
Head to Head: 2-2
The two young players had split their previous four meetings. In the quarterfinals of the 2022 US Open, Alcaraz prevailed in their previous encounter on the path to his maiden Grand Slam victory.
Prediction
Top seed On Saturday, Carlos Alcaraz will take on the 11th seed Jannik Sinner to win his first Indian Wells title.
On hardcourts, where their strong serves, powerful hitting off either flank and greater athleticism pay off handsomely, both players are dreadful.
There isn’t much to choose between the two players because only one of their four previous meetings resulted in straight sets.
Sinner dropped two sets this week, but Alcaraz triumphed in all eight, giving the Spaniards a slight lead right now.
Alcaraz is expected to beat his Italian opponent and reach his third straight final in 2023, even though their most recent battle would be another exciting contest.
