Fans flocked to the practice courts Wednesday morning for an extra special show, catching a glimpse at the defending BNP Paribas Open Champion, Carlos Alcaraz, who has officially touched back down in Tennis Paradise.
GET TICKETSAlcaraz won his maiden Indian Wells title at last year's tournament, and embarks on a 2024 campaign where he's seeking the first back-to-back titles in the desert since Novak Djokovic's three-peat from 2014-16.
The 20-year-old Spaniard had his first practice session in the desert this morning with the World No. 17 American Tommy Paul. Alcaraz, the No. 2 seed, will start his 2024 run on Friday in the second round, facing Italy's Matteo Arnaldi.
Check out some photos from his practice:
