Jannik Sinner continued his unbeaten start to the year with a dominant victory while Carlos Alcaraz dropped the first set but recovered to win at Indian Wells.
Australian Open champion Jannik Sinner continued his unbeaten start to the year with a dominant victory over Thanasi Kokkinakis, as second seed Carlos Alcaraz dropped the first set but recovered to win at Indian Wells. Italian Sinner followed up his Melbourne triumph by winning another title in Rotterdam and, in his first match as world No 3, eased to a 6-3 6-0 win against Australian Kokkinakis.
The second seed will face Felix Auger-Aliassime in the next round on Sunday. 'I was nervous in the first set,' said Alcaraz. 'That makes me at some points move different or with less energy. But in the second and the third sets it was totally different. 'My good game comes out when my energy is so high.' Acapulco champion Alex De Minaur raced to a 6-1 6-2 win over Taro Daniel in less than an hour.
