MIAMI : Daniil Medvedev begins his Miami Open campaign on Friday but the Russian will struggle to generate the kind of interest usually reserved for a defending champion as fans focus their attention on the budding rivalry between Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner.
Success is never linear, although Carlos Alcaraz did a pretty good job attempting to be the exception to the rule.
World number two Carlos Alcaraz cruised home in a 7-6 (7/5), 6-1 victory over Daniil Medvedev on Sunday to win a second straight Indian Wells ATP title, both coming at the Russian's expense. Alcaraz captured his first title since Wimbledon last July and became the first repeat winner at Indian Wells since Novak Djokovic won three straight titles from 2014-16. For the 20-year-old Spaniard, 12 days in the California desert proved just what he needed after a stuttering start to the season, which included a quarter-final exit at the Australian Open and an ankle injury that forced him out of his opening match at Rio de Janeiro in February.
On Saturday night in the Californian desert, Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner played out the eighth instalment of their burgeoning rivalry. Once again, it did not disappoint.
Carlos Alcaraz ended Jannik Sinner’s winning run as he claimed a place in the BNP Paribas Open final 1-6 6-3 6-2.
Daniil Medvedev said he will need to play at a "20 out of 10" to beat defending champion Carlos Alcaraz in Sunday's Indian Wells final in the California desert.
Jannik Sinner said he looks forward to battling Carlos Alcaraz for years to come, even after falling to the Spaniard in a thrilling three-set semifinal at Indian Wells on Saturday.
Defending champion Carlos Alcaraz handed Australian Open winner Jannik Sinner his first defeat of 2024 to return to the Indian Wells ATP Masters final on Saturday, beating the Italian 1-6, 6-3, 6-2. The victory ended Sinner's 19-match winning streak, including a 16-0 start to the year, and insures Alcaraz will remain No. 2 in the world rankings next week. In Sunday's final, he will face either fourth-seeded Russian Daniil Medvedev or American Tommy Paul with a chance to become the first repeat Indian Wells ATP champion since Novak Djokovic won three straight titles from 2014-2016.
