"The No. 2-ranked Italian beat Medvedev for the ninth time in their last 10 matches to claim his first title at the California desert tournament. Medvedev handed top-seeded Carlos Alcaraz his first loss of the year in the semifinals of the BNP Paribas Open."
"It hasn't anything to do with tennis, but it has been a special day for Italy. Because I'm a huge Formula One fan and having a very, very young Italian, Kimi, bringing Italy back home at the top, it's amazing. So, thanks, Kimi, thanks Formula One, and see you next year."
Jannik Sinner, ranked No. 2, won the Indian Wells championship by defeating Daniil Medvedev in straight sets with a final score of 7-6 (6), 7-6 (4). Sinner achieved this victory without losing any sets throughout the tournament. In the second-set tiebreak, Sinner demonstrated exceptional resilience by winning seven consecutive points to overcome a 4-0 deficit. This marks Sinner's ninth victory over Medvedev in their last ten matches. Medvedev had previously eliminated top-seeded Carlos Alcaraz in the semifinals, handing him his first loss of the year. Following his victory, Sinner acknowledged fellow Italian Kimi Antonelli's Formula One success at the Chinese Grand Prix earlier that day.
