Carlos Alcaraz signs camera with hilarious message after reaching fourth consecutive SF at Indian Wells

Carlos Alcaraz recently signed a camera with a witty message after advancing to his fourth consecutive semifinals at the Indian Wells Masters. Alcaraz is the two-time defending champion at the tournament, having clinched the title in 2023 and 2024 by defeating Daniil Medvedev in the final.

Alcaraz is seeded second at this year's Masters 1000 event in Indian Wells and began his campaign in the second round following a first-round bye. He started strong by defeating Quentin Halys 6-4, 6-2 in his opening match, and then overcame 27th seed Denis Shapovalov 6-2, 6-4, and 14th seed Grigor Dimitrov 6-1, 6-1 in the third and fourth rounds, respectively.

In the quarterfinals, Carlos Alcaraz secured a 6-3, 7-6(4) victory over 25th seed Francisco Cerundolo to extend his unbeaten streak at Indian Wells to 16 matches and secure his spot in the semifinals for the fourth consecutive year.

After his triumph over Cerundolo, the 21-year-old signed the camera with a hilarious message that read:

"Should I buy a house here?"

Alcaraz will be aiming to join the ranks of Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic as the third player to win three consecutive Indian Wells titles, following Federer's back-to-back wins from 2004-2006 and Djokovic's consecutive victories from 2014-2016.
