Carlos Alcaraz will face Daniil Medvedev for the Indian Wells title, with the opportunity to also overtake Novak Djokovic in the rankings and once again become the world number 1. During the press conference that followed his successful semifinal against Jannik Sinner, Carlitos was asked to comment about his ranking.
The young Spanish sensation replied: “I know if I win I’m gonna become the No 1. Well, I will try not to think about that. Just to think about the things that I have to do, you know? I would say gonna be a really tactic match against Daniil. It is gonna be really tough. I have to make, let’s say, everything perfect. That’s all I’m gonna think (about).
But, you know, it would be great to win tomorrow, of course.”
