Carlos Alcaraz vs Arthur Rinderknech live streaming, TV channel, where & how to watch: Indian Wells Open 2026

Alcaraz is yet to lose a match this season.
World No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz will continue his campaign at the Indian Wells Open 2026 with a third-round encounter against Frenchman Arthur Rinderknech.
The Spaniard arrives in the desert in exceptional form, having started the season unbeaten and carrying strong momentum after a convincing victory over Grigor Dimitrov in the previous round.
Alcaraz needed just over an hour to dispatch Dimitrov 6-2, 6-3, showcasing his trademark aggressive baseline play and sharp shot selection.
The two-time Indian Wells champion dominated proceedings by controlling rallies from the start, dropping very few points on serve and converting key opportunities on return.
Rinderknech, meanwhile, has had a rather unusual route into the third round. After receiving a first-round bye, the Frenchman progressed without hitting a ball when his scheduled opponent Juan Manuel Cerundolo withdrew before their match.
Despite the fortunate advancement, the world No. 28 now faces a significant challenge against the top seed.
The matchup also carries recent history, as the two players met just weeks ago at the Qatar Open, where Alcaraz secured another straight sets victory.
Holding a perfect 5-0 head-to-head record over Rinderknech, the Spaniard will look to continue that dominance as he aims to keep his winning streak alive in California.
