crucial stage of his quarter-final win over Jack Draper at the Indian Wells Open.<\/p>\n<p>After a dominant opening set from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/daniil-medvedev\">Medvedev<\/a> as he broke twice to take a 6-1 lead, Draper put up a better fight in the second as they remained on serve until the 10th game of the set.<\/p>\n<p>Then it all went pear-shaped for Draper on his serve at 5-5 [15-0] as he was called for hindrance and, after a video review, chair umpire Aurelie Tourte gave the point to Medvedev.<\/p>\n<p>But the Brit was unhappy with his opponent as Medvedev finished the rally before deciding to complain and request a video review.<\/p>\n<p>The world No 11 ended up breaking Draper\u2019s serve and then served out the match for a 6-1, 7-5 win that earned him a semi-final match-up against world No 1 Carlos Alcaraz.<\/p>\n<h2>ATP News<\/h2>\n<p><strong><a

understand.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Draper: \u201cI don\u2019t think it distracted you enough. That\u2019s what I\u2019m saying.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Medvedev: \u201cI could say it\u2019s true.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Draper: \u201cIt\u2019s a fair call, you won the match fair and square, but I don\u2019t think it distracted you at all.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Medvedev: \u201cI don\u2019t feel great.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Draper: \u201cNo, no, it\u2019s fine, it\u2019s a fair call, I just don\u2019t think it distracted you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Medvedev: \u201cI understand.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-media-max-width=\"560\">\n<p>Your call: Hindrance or not?<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/IndianWells?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#IndianWells<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/5Ko8GUncJk\">pic.twitter.com\/5Ko8GUncJk<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 BNP Paribas Open (@BNPPARIBASOPEN) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BNPPARIBASOPEN\/status\/2032306028885524918?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">March 13, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>During his post-match press conference, Medvedev was asked about the incident and replied: \u201cNow I can actually even talk more, because I have more info. I think I should have done it the moment it happened, like, I should not have waited until the end of the point, and then it would be a bit more, probably available.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut if you look at my first forehand, I do, after this happens, I could have gone for more. I was kind of tiny bit distracted. So I said to the umpire, like, \u2018What should I do? Should I do it next time straightaway?\u2019 And she goes, like, \u2018If you want, you can video review.\u2019 I said, \u2018Okay, video review.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd whatever she decides, she decides, and she decided that it\u2019s a point for me. So I take it.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s basically it. Was I distracted big time? No. Was I distracted a bit? Yes. Is it enough to win the point? I don\u2019t know.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Medvedev was also asked if things were \u201cokay\u201d with Draper after the match.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think so, I mean, it\u2019s more a question for him because, right, because I would be okay with him after what happened, so it\u2019s more a question to him,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think we have a great relationship, so I don\u2019t think one incident like this could make the outcome, especially, as again, I told him straightaway, if she thinks it\u2019s not enough, 15-All, we go on. If she thinks it\u2019s enough, well, then, it\u2019s Love-30, I\u2019m sorry, and that\u2019s what happened.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added: \u201cAs I say, if you look on the first forehand I do after it happened, I think I could have done a better shot if there was no gesture from Jack.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo as I say, was I distracted big time? No. Do I feel good about it? Not really. But I also don\u2019t feel like I cheated or something.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo I got a bit distracted. I let it go, I let the referee decide. I had a lot of calls against me in my life, and I usually don\u2019t handle them well. To get one on my side, I guess feels good as well.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Indian Wells Open: Watch as Daniil Medvedev and Jack Draper argue over hindrance call Shahida Jacobs 13 Mar 2026 8:15 AM Jack Draper and Daniil Medvedev argue after their match Daniil Medvedev admitted that he \u201cdidn\u2019t feel great\u201d after he was awarded a controversial point during a crucial stage of his quarter-final win over Jack [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[226,249],"class_list":["post-1824061","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-crawlmanager","tag-tennis365-com"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1824061","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1824061"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1824061\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1824061"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1824061"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1824061"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
