Daniil Medvedev is back. It had been a long time since we had seen the Russian perform in the way he has at Indian Wells 2026, regaining that aggressiveness and ability to dominate after his first serve that seemed lost, engaging in impressive battles against Alcaraz and Sinner. His ability to command from the baseline and find a renewed accuracy and power in his second serves has been the key to his adventure in the desert: his points won with the second serve average, 48.7%, experienced a sharp increase against Alcaraz (74.2%) and Sinner (61.5%), proving that he is once again confident to take more risks and protect his first shot much better. Undoubtedly, this statistic explains his fantastic form these days.
