Alcaraz

On March 8, local time, at the ATP1000 Indian Wells Masters in the 2025 season, the No. 2 seed Alcaraz defeated Aris 6-4/6-2 and successfully advanced to the top 32 of the men's singles, where he will play Shapovalov.

If Alcaraz wins the title at Indian Wells, he will be 435 points behind world No. 2 Zverev and 3,820 points behind world No. 1 Sinner. While the goal for the future is to return to being number one in the world, the Spaniard is not looking too far ahead.

"It's on my mind, but I don't really pay attention to it," said Alcaraz, who has held the No. 1 position in the world for 36 weeks, "and in every fight, I'm focused on myself. I really want to play tennis. I'm focused on how to be a better player. ”

"If I do the right thing in every fight, then the world number one will be a close second. So, if I think about number one, I have to get a good result, I have to win the race. If I just focus on getting back to number one, I'm putting extra pressure on myself, which is something I don't want. ”

Alcaraz revealed that he made the most of his rest day during the tournament: "The tournament is 12 days and we have a day off before and after the two tournaments, so every time I try to play some golf. We stayed in a hotel where it was easy to play golf, so it was really helpful for me. ”
