The IW men's singles semifinal is about to begin, with Alcaraz hoping to continue his winning streak against top ten players!

Tomorrow morning Beijing time, the Indian Wells Masters men's singles semifinal will commence as scheduled, featuring two leading players from the post-95 generation and the twin stars of the post-00 generation.

As top-tier players, all four attract widespread attention, especially Alcaraz, who has already achieved his personal best start to the year. The two-time tournament champion has currently recorded a 16-0 opening season streak, matching his rival Sinner's 2024 season in the opening win rankings, only looking up to the Big Three and Sampras.

So, what is the current status of the post-00 generation's victories against top ten players? (Data selected for at least 8 wins)

60 Sinner

54 Alcaraz

The twin stars continue to dominate with far-leading data, more than double that of their closest competitors. Sinner still slightly leads Alcaraz, with both players' main victories built on very stable performances over recent seasons.

25 Aliassime

In past records for the post-00 generation, the Canadian "Black" was undoubtedly the top figure, but with the rise of the twin stars, his various record titles have been overtaken. However, from the data on victories against top ten players, he remains a strong contender for the third position.

20 Rune

15 Musetti

Further down the list is Rune, who has been absent for months due to injury and is actively recovering. The Dane was once hailed as one of the post-00 generation's "Little Big Three," but his performance in high-level matches has not been ideal recently, with no Grand Slam semifinals yet and no Masters titles, which can be said to have wasted time.

9 Draper, Korda, Lehecka, Mensik

8 Fils

These five are rising forces in recent years, with Draper and Mensik unlocking Masters titles last year, and the other three (except Lehecka) also having 500-level tournament titles.

Fils' match against Alcaraz in Barcelona last year was neck-and-neck and rated as the best tour match of the year, with his former French top player style and personality still highly commendable. After taking a break due to injury at last year's French Open, following a final defeat to Alcaraz in Doha, he then reached the quarterfinals at the Indian Wells Masters, still a notable achievement.

Similarly, without injury impact, a normally performing Korda is also a standout in this excellent post-00 group; Draper, of course, has proven his strength by recently defeating Djokovic; the Czech twin stars are less dazzling, but Lehecka is solid and Mensik is exceptionally talented.

However, will Alcaraz's winning streak end when facing Medvedev, who claims "it takes strong strength to beat me now"? (Source: Tennis Home Author: Luo Cheng Qi Ye)
