At the BNP Paribas Open, Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz shined in different sessions during quarterfinal action in Indian Wells.
The two are now one win away from dueling for the first time in 2026. Alcaraz notably beat the Italian in the semifinal stage of his 2023 and 2024 title runs here.
On Thursday, Sinner stepped out first in cruising past Learner Tien on a hot afternoon. The world No. 1 later soaked up the sun for his match prep, before rolling over 2021 champion Cameron Norrie.
