Alcaraz Keeps Perfect Momentum
Carlos Alcaraz defeated returning Grigor Dimitrov 6-2 6-3 to reach the next round in Indian Wells. He saved the only break point he faced and converted three of four chances.
With this win, Alcaraz extended his winning streak to 13 matches after winning the titles at the Australian Open and Doha earlier this season.
The run is even more impressive considering the speculation around his coaching change and the pressure of defending the world No.1 ranking.
