Two-time defending champion Carlos Alcaraz launched his bid for a rare Indian Wells three-peat with a bang on Saturday, racing into the third round with a 6-4, 6-2 victory over France's Quentin Halys. The four-time Grand Slam winner from Spain is vying to join Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer as the only players to win three straight Indian Wells ATP Masters titles. He admitted he was feeling some nerves to start the match, but they evaporated amid a strong all-around performance. One early break staked Alcaraz to the first set, and he roared to a 4-0 lead in the second behind a formidable service display.

Inter Milan extended their lead at the top of Serie A after a laborious 3-2 victory over bottom side Monza on Saturday. The reigning Italian champions pulled four points clear of second-placed Napoli who host Fiorentina on Sunday. Big favourites against a team that have only picked up 14 points this campaign, the hosts conceded two goals in the first half. Although Marko Arnautovic reduced the deficit just before the break and Inter then monopolised play, it was not until the 64th minute that Hakan Calhanoglu equalised. Argentine captain Lautaro Martinez proved decisive in the 77th minute to serve up his team's victory with a header slightly deflected into goal by Monza's Greek defender Giorgos Kyriakopoulos
