Carlos Alcaraz wants to be the king of the desert in Indian Wells, and even though he only has two titles (2023, 2024), he is on his way to achieving it sooner rather than later. The Spaniard is already in the semifinals of this edition after defeating Cameron Norrie (6-3, 6-4) and will fight for a spot in the final against Daniil Medvedev. But before facing the Russian, the world number one has broken another record. After securing his fifth consecutive semifinal in Indian Wells, he equals the achievement of Rafa Nadal and Novak Djokovic, but, as if that weren't enough, he becomes the youngest player to do so.
