The men’s semi-finals are kicking off at the Indian Wells Open, which, as many consider, is like the unofficial “fifth tournament” in the ATP lineup.
The first match features world No. 2 Jannik Sinner going up against No. 4 Alexander Zverev. They’ve faced each other ten times; Zverev has claimed four victories, but interestingly, Sinner leads with six wins.
The other semi-final brings together last year’s semifinalists, Carlos Alcaraz and Daniil Medvedev. Alcaraz has beaten Medvedev six times out of their eight encounters, showing a strong competitive edge.
Here are a few details to keep in mind:
- When: November 16th at 12:00 PM Eastern Time
- Where: Inalpi Arena, Turin, Italy
- Channel: Tennis Channel
- Streaming: DIRECTV (available for a free trial)
It seems quite probable that the top two players in men’s tennis will face off in the final, marking the 17th meeting between Sinner and Alcaraz.
