Alcaraz unbeaten run under threat

FORMER CHAMPION Carlos Alcaraz aims to extend his perfect start to 2026 at Indian Wells while Jannik Sinner returns to the California desert seeking to fill a gap in his resume with his first title of the year. The world’s top two players headline a stellar men’s field for the ATP and WTA Masters 1000 tournament, where Serbian superstar Novak Djokovic is chasing a record sixth title, which would see him break out of a tie with Swiss great Roger Federer for the most in tournament his tory. Spain’s Alcaraz, 22, made history last month when he lifted the Australian Open title to become the youngest man to complete a career Grand Slam. He won the Qatar Open to arrive Stateside riding a 12-match winning

wicket was good. It was a short ground with a fast outfield.” While Allen set alight the stadium with his sensational power-hitting, the founda tion of their nine-wicket victory was laid by their bowlers, who restricted South Africa’s fiery batting lineup to a modest 169-8. Off-spinner Cole McConchie took out left-handers Quinton de Kock and Ryan Rickleton in his first over and South Africa, who slumped to 77-5 in the 11th over, could never really recover. Marco Jansen (55) powered them to a competitive total but the pitch had eased by then. Allen and Tim Seifert (58) combined in a 117-run opening stand that effectively killed off the contest. Allen smacked 10 fours and eight sixes in an incendiary knock, sealing their vic tory with a four that also brought up the fastest hundred in a T20 international between two full-member nations. “To get to 170 was a great effort and we felt we had a sniff,” South Africa captain Aiden Markram said. “But as it goes in T20 cricket, the pow erplay got off to a flyer and it was hard to pull back. You give credit to their openers to kill the game like they did. A bad night for us tonight. “It feels like a slap in the face and we need to be better as a team.” – AFP Swiatek says the conditions suit her game, but she has a tough draw that includes a potential quarterfinal clash with Andreeva, who upset her in the semifinals here last year. – AFP ond, third or fourth quickest, I don’t think that’s on the back foot,” he said. “I think that’s still a very good position to start. And I think in pre vious years, where it’s been harder to improve over the course of a sea son, we’ve certainly proved that you could. “And I continue to believe that. It’s a long, very long season.” The 26-year-old began his cham pionship-winning year with victory at Melbourne, crossing the line ahead of Verstappen and Mercedes’ George Russell. He had to wait another seven Grand Prix to top the podium again, as Piastri took control before the championship morphed into a three-man battle. “I guess one of the big learning things from last year is to not get too frustrated with one bad race, two bad races, bad beginning of a year. “It can always come back as long as you keep working hard,” said Norris. He is now the driver with a target on his back but the extra pressure has only spurred him on. “I’m still just as hungry,” he said, with winning the title making him want to experience the euphoria again. – AFP time since that Australian Open disap pointment, will open her campaign against Japanese qualifier Himeno Sakatsume, a 6-4, 6-3 winner over US wild card Alycia Parks, with Japanese star Naomi Osaka and hard-hitting American Amanda Anisimova in her quarter. Third-seeded Rybakina says the desert conditions can pose unique challenges, with big differences between day and night matches and slower courts making for longer rallies.

yesterday he was trying to maximize his potential. “It has been a very hard practice week here for me,” he said. “We spent many, many hours of practice. “(I’m) very happy with how I’m feeling on the court … In the same time, we also try to improve a couple of things,” added the Italian. Women’s world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka is also chasing a first Indian Wells title, having fallen in last year’s final to Russian teen Mirra Andreeva and in 2023 to Kazakhstan’s Elena Rybakina – who beat Sabalenka in the Australian Open final to claim a second Grand Slam crown. Sabalenka, back in action for the first

streak to start the year. The top seed could face a tricky sec ond-round opener against either former world No. 3 Grigor Dimitrov or in-form left-hander Terence Atmane, with third seeded Djokovic also looming in his half of the draw. Sinner will play Czech qualifier Dalibor Svrcina, who beat Australian James Duckworth 6-2, 6-4 as first-round action got underway yesterday. Italy’s Matteo Berrettini booked a sec ond-round meeting with fourth-seeded German Alexander Zverev, beating France’s Adrian Mannarino 4-6, 7-5, 7-5. Although Sinner professed himself satisfied with his season so far, Sinner said

I T needed something special to end South Africa’s unbeaten run in the Twenty20 World Cup and New Zealand opener Finn Allen (pic) pro duced exactly that, the fastest hundred in the tournament’s history, to propel his team into the final at the Eden Gardens on Wednesday. South Africa strung together seven wins in a row to march into the semifinal against a New Zealand side they had blown away in a group stage match earlier in the tournament. The 2024 runners-up had snatched the favourite’s tag from defending champions India, whom they steamrollered in a Super Eights match underlining their title aspirations. The odds favoured them but New Zealand lifted their game just when it mat tered to book their second appearance in the final of the T20 World Cup. “It was nice,” New Zealand captain Mitch Santner said after they won with 7.1 overs to spare. “We knew how good South Africa are and they’ve shown it throughout this tour nament. “To get a good performance like that against them is pleasing. “We weren’t as good as we could have been in defeat in the group stage. But today was about trying to chop and change during bowling because the
