At Indian Wells, Carlos Alcaraz can become world number one

Taking the title in the Californian desert would allow Alcaraz to replace the absent Novak Djokovic at the top of the world rankings. There are only 380 points between them.

It’s a good goal for me, and I’m going for it,” he said.

As much as I love this tournament, I would like to have a great result here.

I haven’t played a tournament on a hard surface in a long time, so I don’t consider myself the favorite.”

He became the youngest player to top the ATP rankings last time he played in America.

Although he can best deploy all his skills on hard court, he hasn’t played there since November 4, when he had to withdraw from the quarter-finals in Paris-Bercy.
