Rafael Nadal and Alcaraz form for Indian Wells 2022

There is no surprise that El-Nino is in top form this season. He is currently 15-0 with 3 trophies in 2022. Rafael Nadal started his winning run in Melbourne Summer Set. Then he defeated Daniil Medvedev in a 5-set thriller for the record 21st Grand Slam title.

Very recently, Spanish ace won Mexican Open without dropping a set. World No. 4 has won Indian Wells 3 times (in 2007, 2009, and 2013) and reached semis 10 times before. If he manages to win the title, he will be the oldest player to do so, breaking Roger Federer’s record of aged 35 years 7 months and 11 days.

Carlos Alcaraz is also in good nick this season. 18-year old Spanish emerging star has won Rio Open beating Argentine Diego Schwartzman in the final. Though he was defeated by Matteo Berrettini in the Australian Open 3rd round match, the youngster can fancy his chances against the big guns in Indian Wells.
