Jannik Sinner worries Carlos Alcaraz
The words of Carlos Alcaraz
Carlos Alcaraz knows very well that Saturday night in the Indian Wells semifinals in addition to the pass to the last act he will also play for the second place in the Atp ranking. "I do not know how he will face the match. Jannik è the best player in the world right now, there is no doubt,” said the Spaniard. He is playing incredible, he hasn't lost yet this year, I really like to see him. It will be a really difficult match, a great challenge for me".
Jannik Sinner in Indian Wells did not è just hit the semifinals, on Thursday that saw him beat Czech Jiri Lehecka in two sets. In fact, his new victory makes him still undefeated in 2024, with numbers that put him ahead of such tennis legends as Djokovic, Borg, Federer, and McEnroe. And a new, further record è getting closer.
Indeed, the Indian Wells success over Lehecka allowed Sinner to become the youngest player in the Open era to start a season with 16 consecutive wins at the ATP level. The Italian did so at the age of 22 years and 211 days, once again beating the "usual" Novak Djokovic. The formidable Serb was in fact the holder of this important record, achieved in 2011 at 23 years and 299 days. He is followed by Bjorn Borg (23 years and 302 days in 1980), Roger Federer (24 years and 207 days in 2006) and John McEnroe (25 years and 17 days in 1984).
