In the early morning of March 15, Beijing time, the third round of the ATP1000 Indian Wells Masters began to compete, and the No. 4 seed Nadal met with The British Evans. After two sets of competition, Nadal eliminated his opponent 2-0 and advanced to the round of 16.
After winning the game, Nadal won his 400th career Masters, becoming the first player in Masters history to reach the 400-win milestone. Nadal is followed by Federer's 381 and Djokovic's 374, with Murray in fourth place with 219 Masters wins and Agassi in 5th with 209 wins.
In addition to the 400-win milestone, Nadal continued his perfect season start after winning this game. So far this season, Nadal has achieved an impressive record of 17 consecutive wins, continuing to set a new record for his best start to the season.
The 17-game winning streak tied federer (2018) and Sampras (1997), a start that could be tied for 3rd place since the at-point tour was launched in 1990, ahead of Nadal with only Djokovic's 26-game winning streak in 2020 and 41 consecutive wins in 2011.
Djokovic made the 41-game winning streak in 2011, during which time he went from winning the first round of the Australian Open to the Semi-Finals of the French Open, during which he won a total of seven championships at the Australian Open, Dubai, Indian Wells, Miami, Belgrade, Madrid and Roma, and his winning streak was won until the French Open semi-final was ended by Federer.
With 17 consecutive wins, Nadal is very difficult to surpass Djokovic's 41-game winning streak, and he needs to continue winning streak from now until the end of the clay season to surpass this miracle. Throughout the Open era, Djokovic's 41-game winning streak was not the best start, and McEnroe set a record of 42 consecutive wins in 1984.
