Tennis fans, grab your popcorn! 🍿 Two-time Indian Wells champion Carlos Alcaraz is gearing up for a fiery semifinal clash against Britain's rising star Jack Draper. The 20-year-old Spaniard is chasing history—if he wins his next two matches, he'll join legends Federer and Djokovic as the only men to three-peat in the California desert.
Stats vs. Stamina 💪
While Alcaraz leads their head-to-head 3-1, he's not underestimating the left-handed dynamo. 'He's ambitious, goes for every shot, and these conditions suit him,' Alcaraz said about Draper. The Brit’s fitness could be key: two of their past meetings ended with Draper retiring mid-match, including their 2023 Indian Wells thriller.
Medvedev’s Turn for Revenge? 🎯
In Friday’s other semifinal, Russia’s Daniil Medvedev—who lost to Alcaraz in the last two finals—faces Denmark’s Holger Rune. The 29-year-old survived a nail-biting quarterfinal against Arthur Fils, proving he’s still a force against Gen-Z talent.
