–
INDIAN WELLS, Calif. – Félix Auger-Aliassime defeated Carlos Alcaraz the first three times they met, although of course there were a few caveats in there.
But the Spaniard was a couple of years younger then, just on the comeup even though everyone knew he was already very, very good.
The last time the two met was in the quarterfinals here at Indian Wells a year ago, with Alcaraz coming out on top.
Hopefully, it’ll be a battle.
Also watch for Stefanos Tsitsipas vs Frances Tiafoe – both of whom could really use a sweet little run here.
