Alcaraz found just enough of his aggression and magic to climb out of a deep hole and win 1-6, 6-3, 6-2.
INDIAN WELLS, Calif. – They’re going to be doing this for a while, Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner. Barring some kind of unforeseen circumstance or calamitous injury, the 20-year-old Spaniard and the 22-year-old Italian are going to spend some number of years packing stadiums and playing their gasp-inducing, “can-you-top-this-yes-I-can” version of a sport that is equal parts boxing, ballet, tug-of-war and drag racing.
In the span of four months, Sinner has set fire to all that, and with a win on Saturday, would have made it painfully clear to Alcaraz and everyone else in the sport that he is the man to beat right now, and maybe for a very long time. Sinner, the red-headed Italian with the spindly legs that scramble across the court and the long arms that whip balls over the net with a frightening ferocity, demolished Alcaraz in the first set with the kind of dominance that sends a scare through a locker room.
