Tennis sensation Daniil Medvedev defeated star player Tommy Paul in the fourth round of the Indian Wells 2025 and stormed into the quarter-finals of the game. However, the Russian is now set to face a big challenge in his next thriller, as he will be facing Arthur Fils in the last eight rounds, who has been in great form.

Coming to the game dynamics, the 29-year-old star had a great start to the game, showcasing his classic form after smacking incredible and exhausting shots in the game.
However, the American tried to stage his comeback, but Medvedev's game plan was dominant over Paul. The Indian Wells 2024 finalist kept his resilience and won the second set to mark a straight-sets victory over the 27-year-old Paul to knock him out of the ATP 1000 Masters.

Meanwhile, Daniil Medvedev was ecstatic after storming into the quarter-finals of the Indian Wells 2025. The Moscow-born star has recalled the rivalries between the two tennis players. The 29-year-old star player has revealed how he managed to raise the level against Paul, which helped him beat the American star.
"We've actually had up and down matches so far that we've played. The first one was really close, then he beat me easy and now I managed to beat him a bit easier. I'm happy with my game. It's not easy to play here. Breaks of serve — of course we still win more serves than we we lose — but breaks of serves don't mean much here. So even when he came back in the first, I was like, 'Try pushing, try going further.' I managed to raise my level during the match, so I'm pretty happy about it," said Medvedev, after the win.
