 Yannick Cinder vs Taylor Fritz is the third quarterfinal for Indian Wells for 2023 and both players have been impressive to get to this stage. Cinder started the tournament off as the number 11 seed and we're going to buy in the first round. In the second round he take on Richard Gascay, the veteran, and under a close second set Cinder would get through in straights 6-3, 7-6. In the third round he take on another Frenchman Manorino and again he'd have to battle through a tiebreaker set but go through in straights 7-6, 6-4. In the fourth round he'd take on Stan Vavrenka, who would just come off a very epic match against the 7 seed Runa. But they had played in Rotterdam a couple of weeks before and Cinder just replicated that score, getting through stand in straights 6-1, 6-4 to get to the quarterfinals. Fritz started the tournament off as the defending champion and the number 4 seed and we'd get a buy in the first round. In the second round he take on Shelton, the exciting young American, and after dropping the first set Fritz would have to fight in 3 with his experience prevailing 4-6, 6-4, 6-3. In the third round he'd take on the number 30 seed Bayez, who wasn't really known for his hardcore tennis, mainly a clay quarter, and this showed as Fritz demolished him in straights sets 6-1, 6-2. In the fourth round Fritz would take on Fucovic, the unseeded Hungarian who'd beaten Diminor along the way, but again this was easy for Fritz getting through in straights 6-4, 6-3 to advance to his third straight Indian Wells quarterfinal. These two guys have only played the one time before, it was actually at Indian Wells back in 2021 where Fritz getting the win in straights sets, but sin has changed. A lot over those last couple of years and of course Fritz has only gotten better too so I'm expecting a closer match. If sin is going to win this one, he needs to make Fritz move. Fritz gets frustrated when he has to do a lot of running and he doesn't get to control the baseline, so if sin can get on the baseline, start moving Fritz around, get him in a defensive position, maybe come to the net as well, put away some volleys and sin has a very good chance. If Fritz is going to win this one, he needs to use the crowd. They're going to be on his side, he's the defending champion and he is the local hope. He's made three quarterfinals already at this tournament in a row now and he's going to be the favourite by the crowd. He's also going to make sin a run because sinner has a bandage on his knee so there's something wrong with sinner physically, make him run. That's what Fritz is going to have to do, be aggressive and just make sin a move. This is going to be a very fun match. Might be the best quarterfinal on the men's draw. I'm going to go with three sets for Fritz. I think he's going to sneak it out at the end. It's going to be an absolute banger and I think the crowd are going to play a big part. I'm going to go with Fritz in three but let me know down in the comments below. Who do you think is going to win this one?
