Both defending champions lost in the semifinals, but their next few months look very different as they defend last year's ranking points.

Carlos Alcaraz crashed out of his Indian Wells three-peat bid on Saturday, and nerves played a key role in “one of the worst sets I have played in my career.” A four-time Grand Slam champion, Alcaraz said he was too focused on what weapons British left-hander Jack Draper might bring and unable to calm the pre-match jitters that prevented him from rising to the occasion.

Alcaraz is now just the third player to make four consecutive semifinal appearances at Indian Wells, following Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer. Those three are also the only men to win 16 consecutive matches at this event, and Alcaraz is seeking to join Djokovic and Federer as the only ones to win the title here three consecutive times.
