Alcaraz takes revenge on Marozsan and reaches the Indian Wells quarterfinals. He started the tournament somewhat hesitant, losing the first round against the Italian Matteo Arnoldi.

The winner of the clash between Alexander Zverev and Alex de Minaur awaits him in the quarterfinals, with Jannik Sinner as a potential opponent in the semifinals. The departure of Novak Djokovic clears the picture somewhat for the Spaniard, although his part of the draw remains a minefield.
