Filippo Volandri ignites challenge between Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz

The words of Filippo Volandri

Filippo Volandri spoke to La Gazzetta dello Sport on the day of the Indian Wells semifinal between Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz: "If possible, the South Tyrolean è even improved from his success in Australia. He now ja complete control of the exchanges and emotions, raises the level at delicate moments, è a master in ’identifying immediately the mostù correct" tactical choices.

È meanwhile, the schedule for the two semifinals of the Indian Wells Masters 1000 tomorrow has been announced. On the California concrete, Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz will take the court first at 9:30 p.m. Italian time. The world No. 3 South Tyrolean will try to beat the Spaniard to snatch from him the No. 2 spot in the world rankings in a sort of rematch of last year’s challenge, which was won by Alcaraz.

Next up is the second semifinal between U.S. No. 17 seed Tommy Paul, who è slipped into the corridor vacated by Novak Djokovic, and Russian Daniil Medvedev, world No. 4. The record speaks of 4 wins to 3 in favor of Sinner, who lost his last match with Alcaraz just in Indian Wells in last year’s semifinal, but then came out on top in the semifinals of the following Masters 1000 in Miami and then also in Beijing, thus tipping the balance in his favor.
