The Indian Wells Open comes to an end today with the men’s final.
No. 2 Jannik Sinner will face off against No. 11 Daniil Medvedev for the title in the “unofficial fifth major” this afternoon.
Sinner advanced with a straight sets semifinal win over Alexander Zverev (6-2, 6-4). Now, Sinner has the opportunity to do what only two men before him have: win all six ATP Masters 1,000 hard-court titles.
He’ll face Medvedev, who he’s beaten eight times in 15 career meetings. Medvedev advanced into the final with a big win over No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz. In winning yesterday’s semifinal, he broke Alcaraz’s 16-0 win streak that opened 2026.
