Indian Wells Masters 1000: Sinner and Alcaraz fight for the final and for world number 2. They play for the first semifinal after a long delay due to rain.
In the second round Daniil Medvedev and Tommy Paul collide. In that duel last year, Sinner was 12th in the ranking at that time, while today he appears as the player to beat, after starting the season with 16 wins and no losses. It will be only Paul's second presence in the Masters 1000 semifinals, after losing to Sinner in that instance in Canada 2023.
