Top seed Carlos Alcaraz downed Felix Auger-Aliassime 6-4 6-4 on Thursday to book an Indian Wells semi-final place against Jannik Sinner after the Italian knocked out defending champion Taylor Fritz 6-4 4-6 6-4.
U.S. Open champion Alcaraz got off to a flying start, forcing the Canadian to save four break points before landing an inch-perfect forehand winner to break for a 3-2 lead in the opening set.
"My goal today was to stay in it, and I played probably one of my best matches this season, so I'm really happy," Alcaraz said. Fourth seed Fritz responded in the second, breaking Sinner on set point with a backhand winner that brought the crowd to their feet.

Indian movie 'The Kashmir Files' won film festival award, not Indian cinema's highest honourAn announcement from Indian director Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri in February 2023 that his movie 'The Kashmir Files' had won best film at the 'Dadasaheb Phalke Awards' has spawned misleading claims in social media posts that the movie was given the Dadasaheb Phalke Award, the country's highest cinematic honour. The movie, which has been accused of stoking religious tensions, in fact won best film at the similarly named Dadasaheb Phalke International Film Festival Awards. The organisers of the Dadasaheb Phalke Award say it recognises the contribution of an individual -- not a film -- who has contributed greatly to the growth and development of Indian cinema.
