Daniil Medvedev ended Carlos Alcaraz's 10-match winning streak with a 6-3, 6-2 victory in the semifinals of the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells on Saturday, March 14, 2026. The Russian's dominant performance secured his place in the final of the ATP Masters 1000 event.
World number one Alcaraz had not lost a match in 2026 prior to this semifinal clash. Medvedev's precise baseline game and effective serving neutralized the Spaniard's power, breaking his serve four times during the match.
Medvedev will face the winner of the other semifinal between Jannik Sinner and Holger Rune in Sunday's championship match. This marks Medvedev's second career final at Indian Wells, having won the title in 2025.
