Rafael Nadal vs Carlos Alcaraz Blockbuster Semi-Final Extended Highlights! | Indian Wells 2022

What a change-up, recognising that Nadal was deep in the court. It's interesting to see Nadal read the drop shot there. We got a nice look with the low camera angle when he was on his way before. Good. He's got the break. What a return. And what a couple of forehands. There's the speed again. Quickly up to the shot. This is the net. On the way over. First one saved. And the ball staying just inside the sideline despite hitting the net. So close to losing the set here. Just nudges it wide. Perhaps again caught the wind. An eventful first set goes the way of Nadal. Played the conditions perfectly that time. It's a good option. Some improvisations. Taking all sorts right now. It's remarkable they're able to create any rallies at all. Another mind-boggling point. Ball jumping sideways at times. There's credit to the way these two are playing. Razor-sharp reactions. Putting the shields up at the net here. Impossible to track down. What a lob. Second set played in near-impossible conditions at times. Tremendous effort from the teenager. How does he do it? How does he win these points? Almost. Always one another. Come on. This is getting crazy. Alcarez can't believe his eyes. The shot not passed. Nadal is everywhere at the net. Too good. Quite brilliant from Nadal. Nadal takes his win streak to 20 matches this season. Took his game to another level in the closing stages. Particularly the net play. It was out of this world at times. It is a fifth Indian Wells final for the Spaniard.
