After his first-round defeat at the Rio Open, Carlos Alcaraz now looks to make amends at the BNP Paribas Open, where he is the second-seed participant. In the initial round matches, the Spanish sensation breezed past the likes of Matteo Arnaldi and Felix Auger Aliassime while dropping only a single set. Alcaraz then brushed aside his unseeded opponent, Fábián Marozsán, in straight sets, 6-3, 6-3, in the round of 16.

Alexander Zverev, on the other hand, is coming to the Indian Wells Masters after a lackluster campaign defeat at the Mexican Open. The German tennis star started his campaign by defeating Christopher O’Connell and Tallon Griekspoor in his first two games. In the round of 16, Zverev overcame the 10th-seeded Aussie Alex de Minaur in a three-set game, 5-7, 6-2, 6-3.
