On March 18, Beijing time, the ATP1000 Indian Wells Masters quarterfinals began to compete, and the No. 4 seed Nadal met With Kyrgios. The two sides fought fiercely in three sets in this game, and Nadal finally won 2-1 to advance to the men's singles final four of the tournament with 19 consecutive wins in the season.
After reaching the Indian Wells Final Four, Nadal rose to the top of tennis history. The match was Nadal's 953rd victory on the tour's outdoor court, and he thus equalled the record held by Federer. Currently, the two giants of Feiner share this record, but in Nadal's state, he will soon be able to enjoy this miracle exclusively.
Federer and Nadal are tied for the first place in the history of outdoor court wins with 953 wins, but from the perspective of their winning percentage, Nadal is obviously higher. Nadal's record on outdoor venues is 953 wins and 168 losses, and his winning percentage is 85.01%. Federer's outdoor record is 953 wins and 205 losses, and his winning percentage is 82.3%.
Judging from the number of championships won by the two in the outdoor field, Nadal also has a very obvious advantage. Of Nadal's 91 Tour titles, 89 were won on outdoor courts, and 77 of Federer's 103 Tour titles came from outdoor venues.
In the following semi-final matches, Nadal will face the winner between Alcaraz and Nori, who has a great chance of surpassing Federer in this game and enjoying the first place in history. Even after losing the indian wells semifinals, Nadal had plenty of opportunities to overtake Federer and take the record to a new level in the familiar clay court.
