Sinner beat Medvedev in straight tiebreak sets to win Indian Wells, claim his 25th career title and become the youngest player ever to win all six Masters 1000 hard-court events.

Jannik Sinner produced a masterclass to defeat Daniil Medvedev 7-6 (6), 7-6 (4) and capture his first title of the season at the Indian Wells Masters, while also carving his name into the record books.

The victory not only delivered the 25th tour-level title of Sinner’s career, but also completed a remarkable milestone.

With the triumph in California, the Italian now owns all six ATP Masters 1000 hard-court titles, adding Indian Wells to victories in Miami, Canada, Cincinnati, Shanghai and Paris.

Sinner was dominant throughout the final, firing 28 winners and 10 aces, while winning all eight of his approaches to the net in a clinical display.

Youngest Ever To Complete The Masters Set

While Sinner is not the first player to win all six hard-court Masters events, he is the youngest to achieve the feat since the Masters 1000 series began in 1990.

At just 24 years old, he beat the timeline set by two legends of the game, Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic, who both completed the set in their 30s.

Federer finished the collection at 33 when he won Shanghai in 2014 (or 30 if counting Madrid’s former hard-court slot), while Djokovic completed his set at 31 with his Cincinnati triumph in 2018.

Another Milestone Achieved

Sinner also reached another landmark with the victory, recording his 100th career win at the Masters 1000 level.

Born in 2001, he became the first player from the 2000s generation to reach that milestone, ahead of rivals like Carlos Alcaraz.

The final itself was fiercely contested. Medvedev pushed Sinner all the way, forcing two tense tiebreaks. But the Italian proved more clinical in the key moments, rallying from 0-4 down in the second-set breaker before closing it out 7-4.

“I kept believing and kept pushing," Sinner said afterwards.

“I went for my shots a little more… I’m very happy. It was an incredible ending."
