Daniil Medvedev stuns Carlos Alcaraz, set to lock horns with Sinner in Indian Wells final; check his career earnings and net worth

Carlos Alcaraz's perfect start to 2026, which was marked by his maiden Australian Open title, was halted by Daniil Medvedev, who stunned the world number one 6-3, 7-6 (7/3) on Saturday (March 14, 2026) to book an Indian Wells title clash with Jannik Sinner.

During the clash, Medvedev kept the Spaniard on the backfoot for the majority of proceedings by putting impressive service on display along with aggressive play from the baseline. With this win, he avenged losses to Alcaraz in back-to-back Indian Wells finals in 2023 and 2024.

But after Alcaraz, the Russian star will have his work cut out again in Sunday's clash with four-time Grand Slam champion Sinner, who beat fourth-ranked Alexander Zverev 6-2 and 6-4. Alcaraz, 22, became the youngest man to complete a career Grand Slam with his Australian Open triumph this year. He followed with a title in Qatar and took a 16-0 2026 record into Saturday's contest.


But Medvedev was up to the challenge, last month's Dubai champion running Alcaraz ragged in the intense desert heat as he pushed his own ATP win streak to nine matches.
