Alcaraz ends Sinner's streak and reaches the Indian Wells final. The Spaniard knew how to hold on in a clash that was more tactical than brilliant.
Sinner had not lost in 16 consecutive matches and had won the Australian Open and the Rotterdam Open before reaching the semifinals. Alcaraz arrived at the height of his game and sensations, destroying Auger Aliassime and Zverev on his way to revalidating the title. Neither player could easily win their serve, but the match thickened as the match went on.
