The Masters 1000 semifinal, scheduled for Saturday, is the second meeting between the two Spaniards
Read on to see if it’s Alcaraz’s time, or whether Nadal isn’t yet ready to cede to his young countryman
The semifinal in the top half of the Indian Wells Masters draw was expected to be No. 1 Daniil Medvedev against No. 4 Rafael Nadal.
Nadal, who remains the favorite to win the tournament, did his part. But Medvedev didn’t hold up his end.
The player who came out of that top quarter of the draw is Carlos Alcaraz, the teenager Nadal says is the real deal.
