An 18th straight win, impressive service percentages and the stubbornness of wanting to “get even better.” Jannik Sinner looks unstoppable in Indian Wells.

Blue's statistics are impressive: he has 35 wins in his last 37 matches and is the first player born in the 2000s to reach 150 hard-court wins on the ATP circuit. Data that would please any player, however – in this he is incredibly similar to Novak Djokovic – he always seems to be searching for something more. “Even today we spoke with Cahill before taking the field. We prepared for the game – he said after the win over Shilton – but we asked ourselves how I can become a better player. If I win and play the same way I played last year, I win.” He continued: “I'm happy. When you're young, it's easier for you to improve. You grow a lot physically, you work a lot in the gym, you get stronger and you can serve faster for a longer period of time.” “I'll be 23 in August, and I hope I can still improve my serve until it's a powerful shot. I feel like I'm slowly getting there.”

The champion of Sisto Pusteria in the quarter-finals of the California Championship is now waiting for Slovak Jiri Lehka, who defeated first Andrey Rublev and then Stefanos Tsitsipas 6-2, 6-4 without dropping his serve at all. The two contemporaries met in 2019 at the Challenger in Ostrava, when the Italian won.

With Djokovic knocked out by Luca Nardi (the Pezarro player will face Tommy Paul in the quarterfinals), Sinner Carlos Alcaraz has his sights set. The two rivals but powerful friends are competing for second place in the world rankings. The Spaniard must confirm last year's good start, as the Italian can counter-attack.
