Indian Wells: Carlos Alcaraz claims straight-set win over Felix Auger-Aliassime

Defending champion Carlos Alcaraz reached the fourth round at Indian Wells with a comfortable straight-set win over Felix Auger-Aliassime.

World number two Alcaraz, 20, cruised to a 6-2 6-3 victory over the Canadian to set up a meeting with Hungary's Fabian Marozsan in California.

Greek 11th seed Stefanos Tsitsipas also progressed by defeating American 18th seed Frances Tiafoe 6-3 6-3.

Italian third seed Jannik Sinner plays Jan-Lennard Struff later on Sunday.

Alcaraz did not drop a set on his way to winning the Indian Wells title last year but he had been forced to come back from a set down in his opening match against Italian Matteo Arnaldi.
