    Indian Wells Open: Sinner Edges Fonseca In Thriller To Reach QF

    By IANS News March 11, 2026 • 10:44 AM View: 378
    Indian Wells Open: World No. 2 Jannik Sinner overcame a spirited challenge from rising Brazilian talent Joao Fonseca to secure a hard-fought win and reach the quarter-finals of the Indian Wells Open.

    In their much-anticipated first meeting, the 24-year-old Italian held his nerve in two tight tie-breaks to defeat the 19-year-old Fonseca 7-6(6), 7-6(4) in front of a packed evening crowd. The high-quality contest offered a glimpse of what could develop into a compelling rivalry on the ATP Tour.

    With the win, Sinner reached the quarter-finals in 11 of the 12 ATP Masters 1000 tournaments he has played since the beginning of 2024. It also marked his 97th Masters 1000 match victory, moving him past fellow Italian Fabio Fognini for the most wins by an Italian player at that level.
