Carlos Alcaraz's next match: Defending champion's schedule at Indian Wells 2024 

Carlos Alcaraz will be back in action at Indian Wells in a couple of days, looking to defend the crown he lifted 12 months ago.

The 50th edition of the ATP 1000 event will see the Spaniard anchor the bottom half of the draw as the second seed, alongside fellow young gun Jannik Sinner. Five-time champion Novak Djokovic is the top seed, while last year's finalist Daniil Medvedev rounds out the top 4.

Alcaraz had an injury scare in Rio, where he rolled his ankle and subsequently withdrew. He has since taken some time away from the court and will be looking to make a winning return to competition.

The first seeded opponent the Spaniard could run into is Canadian Felix Auger-Aliassime in the third round.
