Indian Wells Open: Medvedev Ends Alcaraz’s Run To Set Up Blockbuster Final With Sinner
Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships: Daniil Medvedev produced a commanding performance to halt the blistering start to the season of World No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz, defeating the Spaniard 6-3, 7-6(3) in the semi-finals of the Indian Wells Open and ending his 16-match unbeaten run in 2026.
The victory not only stopped Alcaraz’s flawless start to the year but also propelled Medvedev into his first ATP Masters 1000 final since the 2024 Indian Wells championship match. The Russian will now face World No. 2 Jannik Sinner, who secured his place in the final with a straight-sets win against Alexander Zverev earlier in the day.
Medvedev approached the contest with controlled aggression, dictating rallies with precise groundstrokes and consistent serving. The former world No. 1 seized the initiative early, breaking Alcaraz in the opening set and maintaining pressure with deep returns and solid baseline play.
