A complicated player, difficult to fully decipher: capable of moments of brilliance and sudden lapses. For years he was a genuine threat to the giants of the tour; lately he seemed to have lost his way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yet not quite. Just when many thought his trajectory was clearly declining, the Russian resurfaces with a significant victory that sends him into the final of the Indian Wells Masters 1000. The victim this time is Carlos Alcaraz, defeated 6\u20133, 7\u20136(3) in one hour and thirty-seven minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Spaniard arrived in full flight. Two recent titles, at the Australian Open and in Doha, and a run of sixteen consecutive victories that seemed destined to continue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was not his best day, certainly. But it would be unfair to reduce everything to a dip from the Spaniard. The truth is that Medvedev delivered a match of almost surgical precision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Solid serving, razor-sharp backhands and controlled tempo: the Russian imposed his tennis with a composure reminiscent of his best seasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the previous rounds he had already shown clear signs. Orderly, rational tennis, without theatrics or distractions. A stripped-down version of his game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the eve of the match he had hinted at something. Different balls, a faster court\u2014conditions that could help him. \u201cI think I have a great opportunity,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On court he proved it was more than a remark. Medvedev opened angles, pushed Alcaraz far from his comfort zone and dictated a pace the Spaniard never fully controlled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second set offered Alcaraz a chance to reopen the match. A break and two set points. But his forehand, unusually unreliable, betrayed him at the crucial moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The tie-break sealed the story. Alcaraz tried to react, but by then the match belonged to the Russian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So the Californian final will feature a different protagonist. Medvedev will face Jannik Sinner, who earlier defeated Alexander Zverev with authority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the last two years tennis has grown accustomed to thinking in terms of two dominant forces. But every now and then, between those two planets, a comet appears. This time its name is Daniil Medvedev.<\/p>\n\n\n<p>\u270d\ufe0f <small>\u00a92026 SportJournal Pictures Desk &#8211; All Rights Reserved <\/small><\/p>\n<hr style=\"border: none; height: 1px; background-color: #ccc; margin: 2em 0;\" \/>\n<p><small> Copyright \u00a9 2026 SportJournal.pictures \/ SalaStampa.eu, world press service &#8211;<br \/>\nGuzzo Photos &#038; Graphic Publications \u2013 Registro Editori e Stampatori n. 1441 Torino, Italia<\/small><\/p>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Medvedev stuns Alcaraz to end his winning streak at Indian Wells.
