Alcaraz connaît déjà qui serait son rival en troisième tour à Indian Wells
Carlos Alcaraz knew that in his path towards the title at Indian Wells 2026, the name of an old acquaintance, such as Arthur Rinderknech, was included, but what he could not imagine was that the Frenchman wouldn't need to step onto the court to reach that third round where they could face each other. Juan Manuel Cerúndolo, the Frenchman's opponent in the second round, withdrew from the tournament due to physical problems, causing the Frenchman to advance, whom Alcaraz had already beaten a few weeks ago in Doha.
