Italy's world number two Jannik Sinner joined an exclusive club by beating Daniil Medvedev 7-6 (8/6), 7-6 (7/4) on Sunday to win the Indian Wells Masters 1000 tournament for the first time.
In doing so, the 24-year-old became only the third man to complete the set of titles at all six hard-court Masters 1000 events after greats Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer.
"It was a very, very tough match," said four-time Grand Slam winner Sinner after claiming his first title of 2026 by sinking the resurgent 30-year-old Russian, who has returned to the top 10 thanks to his strong form this year.
"It is great to see Daniil back playing this level.
"I am very happy.
I came here from day one, training really hard and this result makes me very happy".
