 Carlos Alcors vs. Janik Sinner is the first semi-final for the men's Indian Wales for 2024. Both players have had similar roads to get to this stage. Sinner entered the tournament as the number 3 seed and will get a buy in the first round. The second round he take on Cockenarkis. This is no problem getting through in straights. 6-3, 6-love. Third round he take on the number 25 seed Strouf who had just battled through Chorich saving Max points in the previous round. This is no problem for Sinner getting through in straights at 6-3, 6-4. And the fourth round he take on Shelton who had had two tough battles to get to this stage. And after a close first set Sinner got through in straights. 7-6, 6-1 to advance to the quarter-finals. In the quarter-finals Sinner would take on the Hetchker the 32nd seed who had just beaten Sidney Pass and Rubeleve along the way. But this was no problem for Sinner getting through in straights. 6-3, 6-3 to advance to the semi-finals. Alcors entered the tournament as the number 2 seed and will get a buy in the first round. In the second round he take on the Italian Alnaldi and after dropping the first set would fight back to win. 6-7, 6-love, 6-1. In the third round he take on the 31st seed Ozealia Seem. A man that he lost to a few times previously. This was no problem for Alcors getting through in straights. 6-2, 6-3. In the fourth round he take on Marijan. The man that upset him in Rome on the clay courts of last year. But there was no repeat with Alcors getting through in straights. 6-3, 6-3 to advance to the quarter-finals. In the quarter-finals Alcors would take on the number 16's Vera. A man that he lost to five out of the eight times that they played including earlier on in the year in Australia. However this wasn't the case. After a long two-hour delay due to B invasion Alcors would get through in straights. 6-3, 6-1 to advance to the semi-finals. These two were played seven times before with Sinner leading the head to head four-three including two matches last year. With their latest one being in Beijing in the semi-finals with Sinner getting a good win. So Sinner's got to like his chances especially the way that he's playing. If Sinner's going to win this one, this doesn't keep doing what he's doing. He is undefeated for the season. The only player this year that has not lost a match and he knows how to beat Alcors. He's beaten him more times than Alcors has beaten him. Last year in Indian Wells Sinner did have an opportunity to get the first set against Alcors. So he's got to take those chances if he does get them. If Alcors is going to win this one, he needs to bring that variety and he just loves playing on this court and use that confidence that he did against Vera. I mean, Vera has such a good record over Alcors especially recently. Sinner's got the same so if Alcors could use that confidence he might be able to get through Sinner. What a great matchup. One of the best matches going around. Also these guys are playing for the number two ranking as well just behind that Djokovic at number one but I've got to go with Sinner in this one. He's been playing so, so well. It's so hard to go against him. It's almost like Djokovic in most of the other years. He just can't bet against him. I'm going to go with him in a close three sets but let me know in the comments below who's going to make the final.
