(VIDEO) Is this the point of the year as Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner send crowd into raptures at Indian Wells
ATPSunday, 17 March 2024 at 19:30
The
showdown between Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner in the Indian Wells
semifinals was one of the standout matches of the year so far. The rivalry
between the Italian and the Spaniard is in full swing, with 8 encounters under
their belt and a 4-4 head-to-head thanks to Carlitos' recent triumph.
The world
No. 2 not only leveled the head-to-head battles but also ended Sinner's
incredible 16-0 streak, one of the best in history, only surpassed by Novak
Djokovic (2011, 2013, 2020), Rafael Nadal (2022), Roger Federer (2018), and
Pete Sampras (1997).
The clashes
between Alcaraz and Sinner always produce breathtaking points, and this time at
Tennis Paradise was no exception. The highlight came in the second set, with
Alcaraz leading 3-1 and serving. A dropshot from Alcaraz, an attempted passing
shot from Sinner, and a volley from the Spaniard created an incredible moment,
as the former world No. 1 clinched the point while his comeback started to take
shape.
The crowd
had an emphatic reaction in the central court of Tennis Paradise after the
point at a crucial moment when the Spaniard needed to hold his serve to
maintain the advantage. Here, you can find the video of one of the match's best
moments:
