Indian Wells: Carlos Alcaraz wins the tournament with a final triumph against Daniil Medvedev and is number one in the world again

“It’s a great feeling to win the trophy here and win back number one. I would say it was the perfect tournament,” said Alcaraz, who ended his Russian opponent’s run (19 matches won in a row) in an impressive way.

At the same time, he pushed the Serb Novak Djokovic (Serbia), who was not allowed to enter the USA due to a lack of corona vaccination, from the top of the ATP rankings. For Alcaraz it was the eighth tournament win of his career and the third in a Masters.

Alcaraz is now traveling to the Masters in Miami as the defending champion, and Djokovic is not there either due to the applicable entry rules. “Of course, winning in this way gives you a lot of self-confidence. I hope that I can maintain this level in Miami,” said Alcaraz, who had not dropped a single set in the entire tournament.
