Carlos Alcaraz and Cam Norrie are scheduled to compete in the quarterfinals at Indian Wells. The match is one of eight singles quarterfinal matches taking place.
Norrie’s Strategy Against Alcaraz
Norrie has a 3-5 record against Alcaraz. Norrie said he had to play well for over two hours when he beat Alcaraz in Paris and keep pushing. He handed Alcaraz one of his nine losses of 2025 that day.
Norrie believes he has a chance against Alcaraz. He is a lefty, which keeps Alcaraz from hitting as many forehands. Norrie is speedy and consistent, with a compact backhand and good hands at net. He has a knack for keeping points going, even against Alcaraz.
Norrie said he was able to take the tennis to the way he likes to play it, playing long points, after his Paris win.
Match Dynamics and Prediction
The courts in Indian Wells should give Norrie a chance to extend the rallies again. These two played an entertaining match in the desert back in 2022, which Alcaraz won 6-4, 6-3. It will probably take more than Norrie has to knock Carlitos off his pedestal right now. Alcaraz is predicted to win.
