Jannik Sinner produced one of the most dramatic comebacks at the Indian Wells Open, defeating Daniil Medvedev 7-6, 7-6 and claiming his first title in the California desert.
The turning point came late in the match. Down 0-4 in the second-set tiebreak, Sinner won seven consecutive points to seal the championship.
With the win, Sinner became the youngest player in history to win both hard-court Grand Slams and all six hard-court Masters 1000 titles.
Speaking after the match, Sinner praised Medvedev and his team.
“First of all I want to start with Daniil and your team. It’s great to see you back playing this kind of level. I know you practice very hard. Keep pushing and I wish you all the best for the rest of the season.”
He also thanked his own team for helping him prepare for the tournament.
“We came very early to prepare for this. Now it’s even more special holding this beautiful trophy. Thank you for all the support.”
The victory also made Sinner the first man to win consecutive Masters 1000 titles without dropping a set.
With 28 wins in his last 30 matches, the 24-year-old continues to build one of the most dominant runs in men’s tennis.
