German tennis player Alexander Zverev easily defeated Frenchman Arthur Fils and once again reached the quarterfinals of the Indian Wells Masters. The world number four won authoritatively with a score of 6-2, 6-3 in 1 hour 23 minutes and advanced to the semifinals of the Californian tournament. The 21-year-old player failed to repeat the level he showed in the previous round against Felix Auger-Aliassime and remained far from his first semifinal in a Masters 1000 tournament, according to the Argentine News Agency. From the start, he lost ground on his serve, made several errors and generated little damage on the return. He only had three break point opportunities, all unsuccessful. Zverev kept control of the match, imposed his power from the baseline and resolved the tie with clarity to advance to the tournament's final four.
