Overview
- Jannik Sinner beat Daniil Medvedev 7-6 (6), 7-6 (4) to win his first Indian Wells crown without dropping a set all tournament.
- Sinner’s triumph completes the full set of elite hard‑court titles, joining Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer in owning all six hard‑court Masters 1000s plus the ATP Finals and the Australian and US Opens.
- Aryna Sabalenka captured her first Indian Wells title by overcoming Elena Rybakina 3-6, 6-3, 7-6 (6) after saving a championship point.
- Medvedev’s run included a semifinal win over world No 1 Carlos Alcaraz, with ranking projections placing him back inside the ATP top 10; he later congratulated Sinner in a candid post on X.
- Both champions head to the Miami Open with a chance to complete the Sunshine Double, while Djokovic’s withdrawal there will cost him 650 points and a drop from No 3.
