Medvedev has offered a candid assessment of his defeat to Jannik Sinner in the 2026 Indian Wells Open final as he congratulated the Italian in a social media post.<\/p>\n<p>Former world No 1\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/daniil-medvedev\">Medvedev<\/a> was beaten 7-6(6), 7-6(4) by world No 2 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/jannik-sinner\">Sinner<\/a> in a high-quality title match at the ATP Masters 1000 event in California.<\/p>\n<p>Medvedev was not broken in the match, but he was unable to create a single break point on Sinner\u2019s serve in a battle decided by fine margins.<\/p>\n<p>The Russian was two points from winning the first set at 6-6 in the tiebreak, while he led 4-0 in the second set tiebreak before losing the next seven points.<\/p>\n<p>The 2021 US Open champion entered the final on a nine-match winning streak having won 18 consecutive sets across Indian Wells, and Dubai \u2014 where he won the title last month.<\/p>\n<p>The 30-year-old delivered a stunning performance to down world No 1 Carlos Alcaraz 6-3, 7-6(3) in the semi-finals in Indian Wells, which ended the Spanish star\u2019s unbeaten start to 2026.<\/p>\n<h2>ATP Tour News<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/everything-jannik-sinner-said-indian-wells-final-daniil-medvedev-message\"><strong>Everything Jannik Sinner

Congrats to @janniksin and his team.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOverall a very good tournament. Thank you @BNPPARIBASOPEN for the support. See you next year.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Having started Indian Wells ranked 11th, Medvedev\u2019s runner-up result at Tennis Paradise has seen him climb back into the top 10.<\/p>\n<p>Asked about this in his press conference, Medvedev said: \u201cIt\u2019s a good feeling, but I always said that when I play well, I will return to the top 10. I played well.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor example, the end of the season, I was very close to finish the year in the top 10, where there were some stretches of the year where it was horrible, and I was not getting any points.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo if I manage to continue this level, I will be at one point in top 10, maybe top 5, but if I lose this level, then the rankings can fluctuate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDoes it mean anything special to me? No. But it\u2019s a good feeling at the same time. So, yeah, I cannot answer better.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>READ NEXT: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/jannik-sinner-prize-money-ranking-points-indian-wells-win\">Jannik Sinner\u2019s prize money and ranking points after first Indian Wells win<\/a><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Daniil Medvedev makes candid 28-word statement after losing to Jannik Sinner in Indian Wells final Ewan West 16 Mar 2026 12:30 PM Daniil Medvedev with Jannik Sinner inset Daniil Medvedev has offered a candid assessment of his defeat to Jannik Sinner in the 2026 Indian Wells Open final as he congratulated the Italian in a [&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-1829248","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\/1829248","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=1829248"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1829248\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1829248"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1829248"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1829248"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
