**Daniil Medvedev** had just reached the final at Indian Wells, and for that reason alone, some already saw him as a strong candidate to go far in the **Miami Open 2026**. That was until yesterday when he stumbled in the third round against an inspired Francisco Cerúndolo, and that story came to an end. In the press conference that followed, the Russian talked about the difficulty of winning these two March tournaments, even placing this challenge above winning a Grand Slam title.
"The Double Sunshine is probably harder, because a Grand Slam is just one tournament, but the Double Sunshine means winning two in a row," stated the Moscow-born player, who will now return home to rest before facing his 'beloved' clay court season.
