INDIAN WELLS, March 19 — Dialed-in Daniil Medvedev suppressed a late surge from Frances Tiafoe to beat the American 7-5, 7-6 on Saturday and reach the Indian Wells final for the first time.
Alcaraz would go on to lift the trophy and become the youngest world number one in the history of the rankings. “It was crazy at the end,” Medvedev said. “I got super tight. I would say that 6-5, 40-0, I think I got tight at deuce when I was like, ‘Oh my God, that’s a lot of opportunities missed. This could go not well for me.’Medvedev, showing no sign of trouble from the right ankle he twisted in a fourth-round win over Alexander Zverev, was patience personified as he wore down Tiafoe in the first set.
But Medvedev broke through suddenly in the 11th game, another backhand into the net from Tiafoe giving him a break point that Medvedev converted with a net-skimming forehand to end another rally.Medvedev quickly gained the edge in the second, breaking Tiafoe in the opening game with a forehand winner that curled back inside the sideline as it dropped.
