Someone's streak will end on Saturday when Carlos Alcaraz, unbeaten in 16 matches to start the season, faces red-hot Russian Daniil Medvedev for a place in the Indian Wells ATP Masters 1000 final.
World number one Alcaraz has dominated the courts in 2026, his Australian Open triumph making the 22-year-old Spaniard the youngest man to complete a career Grand Slam.
