INDIAN WELLS, Calif.—We have another rematch at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden: the men's final on Sunday will see Carlos Alcaraz and Daniil Medvedev once again face off for the Baccarat Trophy after a rain-affected semifinal schedule.
Alcaraz was first over the finish line when he roared back from a set down to snap Jannik Sinner's 19-match winning streak, while Medvedev pulled off a similar Houdini act to cool off a red-hot Tommy Paul on a chilly Saturday evening contest.
The defending champ leads Medvedev 3-2 in their head-to-head, but Medvedev won their most recent outdoor hard-court match and has enjoyed a near-perfect start to the 2024 season with a runner-up finish at the Australian Open. Still, the conditions at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden firmly suit the Spaniard, who will aim for a second straight title in the desert.
