Tennis sensation Holger Rune has defeated two-time finalist Daniil Medvedev in the semifinal thriller of the Indian Wells 2025 with a scoreline of 7-5, 6-4. Rune had a great start to the game and took an early lead after a stellar win in the first set of the game. Rune is just one win away from a return to the top ten in the ATP rankings.
The Danish star continued his form, hitting some exhausting rallies, and was able to gain control over the Russian star's weakness, and his early dominance of his pace helped him win this tense battle. Rune's win showcases he is one of the most formidable players on the ATP tour, and his aggressive style and ability to hit shots under pressure situations make him one of the title favourites here.

However, Rune is set to face a big challenge in the next game. The 21-year-old star player is now set to face Jack Draper in the final clash. The British sensation might pose a big threat to him as he toppled two-time defending champion Carlos Alcaraz in another semifinal battle.

“It means everything. The job is not over yet but it feels amazing for sure. For me, playing Daniil is one of the toughest challenges on tour. He’s had the lead against me 2-1. I managed to beat him the first time. We know each other very well. We’ve practiced a lot. It was super difficult. I had the right tactic but still, it was so difficult to play him. He’s putting in great effort and great shots. Super solid. I’m really proud of myself," Holger Rune said after the win.
