Real estate moguls of the Coachella Valley take note, Carlos Alcaraz remains in the market at the BNP Paribas Open.
The No. 3 in the PIF ATP Rankings overcame a tough test from Francisco Cerundolo on Thursday night to extend his Indian Wells winning streak to 16 matches. Alcaraz may only have been joking when he wrote ‘Should I buy a house here?’ on the camera after his win, but the Spaniard later spoke about the sense of comfort he feels when competing at the ATP Masters 1000, where he is a two-time champion and holds a 20-2 record overall.
“I think in tennis — and I have talked like this with a lot of players — we have a team,” said Alcaraz. “Talking about myself, I have a big team. I’m lucky enough to bring family with me to tournaments, but I think tennis is a lonely sport. So sometimes when you feel peaceful in the place you’re going, you feel great.
“So that’s the case for me here. I feel peace. Here it is peaceful. I just feel great, with the people that I have around. That’s why it makes this place really beautiful for me, and I think that’s why I show my best tennis here.”
