Meanwhile, Medvedev will be looking to continue his domination in the Indian Wells 2025. The star player made it to the finals of Indian Wells 2023 and 2024 but suffered defeat against Carlos Alcaraz on both occasions.

With Alexander Zverev eliminated after his loss to Tallon Griekspoor and Jannik Sinner's suspension, Medvedev has a great chance to make it to the finals for the third straight time.

"It’s probably the slowest court I’ve ever played in my life. Everyone has a different perspective. Some will find it fast. Some will find it slow. If you ask Sascha or Casper, they’re not gonna say it’s fast. I find it super slow. Probably the slowest I’ve ever played on in my life. It’s always been the case at Indian Wells and I managed to plan good here. I’m looking forward. The first set was tough but I found a way to get through and played better and better and played a great match," Daniil Medvedev said after the win.
