Rafael Nadal's unbeaten streak for the season has come to an end at the hands of Taylor Fritz in the Indian Wells final. The 24-year-old American won his maiden Masters 1000 final to take home the biggest title of his career, upsetting the world No 4 6-3 7-6(5) in two hours and six minutes. Both men had picked up injuries in their semi-finals but Fritz came out firing and didn't look hampered as he overpowered the 21-time Major champion.
There was drama before the final had even started as Fritz's participation was thrown into doubt when he cancelled his last practice session just five minutes in, struggling with an ankle injury he had picked up in the final game of his semi-final victory over Andrey Rublev on Saturday. With all signs pointing towards the American withdrawing from his maiden Masters 1000 final, he managed to take to court and looked as if he had no problems as he raced to a 4-0 lead in under 20 minutes. Instead it was the fourth seed who looked hampered, failing to get a look in at Fritz's serve. At 2-5 down in the opener, Nadal called for both the physio and doctor to come onto court at the next changeover and he left the court for treatment after trading breaks with Fritz which saw the world No 20 take a 6-3 lead. The 21-time Major champion had called the trainer during his three-hour three-set semi-final against Carlos Alcaraz on Saturday for a pectoral injury and seemed bothered by the same issue throughout the opening set.
