Defending champion Carlos Alcaraz remains as world No 2 after producing a scintillating comeback win to defeat Jannik Sinner; the Spaniard will play Daniil Medvedev in the final at Indian Wells exclusively live on Sky Sports Tennis from 5.30pm on Sunday
Carlos Alcaraz remained on course to defend the BNP Paribas Open title in Indian Wells after ending Jannik Sinner’s perfect start to the year with a thrilling three-set win.
Just three games were played before a three-hour rain delay in the California desert, but when they returned it was Alcaraz who found a way to turn to contest on its head and make it through to his sixth Masters 1000 final thanks to a 1-6 6-3 6-2 victory.
Alcaraz snapped Sinner’s 19-match winning streak and ended the Italian’s perfect 16-0 start to the 2024 season to take his place in Sunday’s final, where he will play fourth seed Daniil Medvedev following his 1-6, 7-6 (3), 6-2 victory over 17th seed Tommy Paul.
