The two biggest upsets broke out in the IW semifinals, and Aka and Draper were ridiculed as breakfast delivery boys

After the two men's singles semi-finals of the Indian Wells Masters, the results really shocked everyone! No one thought that on the penultimate match day of the men's singles, there would be a big upset, and it was in the way of the following double eggs.

Medvedev vs. Rune and Alcaraz vs. Draper, and when everyone predicted the two key matchups before the game, it was almost certain that Medvedev and Alcaraz would meet in the final.

After Medvedev came to Indian Wells this time, he finally regained his long-lost good form. Everyone has so much faith in the Russian star that he can beat Dane Rune hard, not only because of his absolute strength on hard courts, but also because he has reached the final here in 2023 and 2024 two years in a row; Coupled with Medvedev's defeat of Rune in the quarter-finals at Indian Wells last year, it is only natural for the Russian to be favoured to secure a place in the final.

But after the two officially met, everyone suddenly realized that they really underestimated Rune, and although the Dane's previous form was a little shaky, he has invisibly returned to the right track. This is evident from the fact that the two were able to break and break back at the beginning of the first set, indicating that both men are on the line, which also makes the final outcome of the match difficult to predict.

Unfortunately, as the first set continued to develop, in the face of Rune's post-00 adventure fight, Medvedev was finally broken by the Dane because he was not firm enough in the eleventh game and his own serve, and was finally beaten by Rune to take the lead 7-5.

In the second set, Rune's performance can be called a god of war, and before Medvedev could recover from the loss in the first set, he took the lead to make a dream start of 3-1. When the Russian star woke up from his dream and was ready to fight Rune, he found that the Dane had already stopped giving him a chance, and finally lost the second set 4-6, thus allowing Rune to end the battle with a big score of 2-0, successfully avenging last year's Indianville defeat and causing the first big upset in the men's singles semifinals.

Compared with the fight between Medvedev and Rune, which made people's hearts beat wildly, the focus matchup between Alcaraz and Draper was much more interesting, and some fans and netizens humorously dubbed it "the two competing to be delivery boys, rushing to deliver breakfast".

To be precise, in this matchup between Alcaraz and Draper, there is no suspense that Alcaraz is favored to win like Medvedev before the game.

Alcaraz's good form on the way to promotion after Sinner was suspended and other big-seeded players were eliminated early due to poor form made the Spaniard stand out from the crowd, with more than 90% of the support on the public side optimistic that he can achieve three consecutive titles at the Indian Wells Masters.

Surprisingly, from the first set, Alcaraz gave people a feeling of not waking up, and his condition was simply terrible, with poor serve, offensive errors, and many holes in defense, which allowed Redper's to win the first set by sending fritters.

Alcaraz finally brought the Spaniard back to normal after swallowing the fritters. It is very interesting that Draper, who was simply invincible in the first set, was like being possessed by Alcaraz who was in a bad state in the first set, and suddenly his form plummeted, and Alcaraz equalized the score by sending eggs.

Seeing the two return to the same running line in this way, fans and netizens in the live broadcast room were happy, and bluntly said that they felt that this was not the most exciting competition in the semifinals of the Indian Wells Masters, "No matter how you look at it, it looks like Aka and Lei Lei want to be breakfast takeaway brothers too much, and the two of them are really too friendly and polite, and they have brought the exchange of gifts to the extreme." ”

Just when everyone thought that Alcaraz, who had regained his form, would definitely defeat Draper in the deciding set, making the final victory completely out of suspense, the magical script appeared again.

After Draper's form rebounded, Alcaraz's performance seemed to be back to the speechless form of the first set. Especially after seeing Draper come to the commanding heights of the whole game 5-2, everyone thought that he would win the final victory, but unexpectedly his form fluctuated again, so that Alcaraz, who was in good form, chased the score to 4-5, so that everyone could not understand what rhythm this was, and who would win in the end.

To the relief of Draper's supporters, he held on to the next game of serve to seal a 6-4 victory, knocking out the favourite Alcaraz and causing the final big upset near the end of the Indian Wells Masters.

Rune and Draper meet in the final, which also means that this year's Indian Wells Masters will usher in a new king, but it is not known who this hydrangea will end up smashing on!(Source: Tennis House Author: Starry Sky of Moon River)
