Carlos Alcaraz has continued his flawless record against Arthur Rinderknech after winning their match at Indian Wells.
World number one Alcaraz survived a big scare against Rinderknech, coming from behind to win their round of 32 clash 6-7(6-8), 6-3, 6-2 after two hours and 18 minutes.

It is an unfortunate list to be on, with Alcaraz having now won all six of his meetings with Rinderknech on the ATP Tour.

Carlos Alcaraz’s head-to-head records vs ATP Top 10
Alcaraz is very much the player to beat on the ATP Tour right now, with the 22-year-old now 14-0 for the 2026 season.
His dominance could threaten the entertainment value of men’s tennis, which definitely needs different winners from time to time.
At the same time, however, many fans will be delighted that it is Alcaraz who is the dominant force given his stylish approach and infectious smile, among other admirable traits.
His success has been helped by many positive runs against his fellow Top 10 players, who often represent his biggest barriers to glory.
| Rank | Player | H2H vs Alcaraz |
| 2 | Jannik Sinner | 6-10 |
| 3 | Novak Djokovic | 5-5 |
| 4 | Alexander Zverev | 6-7 |
| 5 | Lorenzo Musetti | 1-7 |
| 6 | Alex de Minaur | 0-6 |
| 7 | Taylor Fritz | 1-5 |
| 8 | Ben Shelton | 0-3 |
| 9 | Felix Auger-Aliassime | 3-5 |
| 10 | Alexander Bublik | 0-0 |
But such tests are passed by the Spaniard more often than not, with Alcaraz recently defeating the likes of fellow Top 4 players Alexander Zverev and Novak Djokovic en route to the Australian Open title.
He lifted the Qatar Open trophy shortly after, and is now looking to make it three from three for 2026 at Indian Wells.
