Carlos Alcaraz continues to etch his name in tennis history, securing a spot in the semifinals of the 2025 Indian Wells tournament with a commanding 6-3, 7-6 (4) victory over Francisco Cerundolo on Thursday night. With this triumph, Alcaraz has now reached the final four in the desert for the fourth consecutive year—an achievement that places him alongside Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic in an exclusive club of consistency and excellence at this prestigious event.

An Exclusive Club of Legends

Alcaraz’s latest milestone makes him only the third player to have advanced to at least four straight Indian Wells semifinals. He now shares this distinction with two of the greatest players in tennis history:

  • Rafael Nadal: 8 consecutive semifinals (2006-2013)
  • Novak Djokovic: 6 consecutive semifinals (2011-2016)
  • Carlos Alcaraz: 4 consecutive semifinals (2022-2025)

The young Spaniard first reached the semifinals in 2022, where he fell to Nadal, before going on to claim back-to-back titles in 2023 and 2024. His dominance on the Indian Wells courts continues to grow, further solidifying his reputation as a force to be reckoned with.

A Chance to Extend His Streak

Alcaraz now sets his sights on Jack Draper in the upcoming semifinal, looking to keep his title defense on track and add another trophy to his growing collection. Should he make it to the final, he would inch closer to another remarkable feat—matching Roger Federer’s three consecutive finals appearances from 2017 to 2019.

As Alcaraz continues to make history, tennis fans worldwide eagerly await the next chapter in his journey. Stay tuned for more updates from Indian Wells!
