The world No. 1 congratulated the Russian for his great match and admitted to being surprised by his high level: "I can only congratulate him, he fully deserves this victory."
Carlos Alcaraz
Carlos Alcaraz lost his first match of the season this Sunday in the Indian Wells semifinals. His conqueror, Daniil Medvedev, has been the first player to figure out how to disconnect the player from Murcia, although this doesn't erase the tremendous start of the season that Carlitos has had, with a 16-0 streak that will go straight into the record books. Ahead of the Murcian, there are still better streaks from four other players: Novak Djokovic, Rafa Nadal, Roger Federer, and Pete Sampras. He has time ahead to fight to improve this start of 2026.

Carlos Alcaraz has lost his unbeaten streak and, with it, a good opportunity to add points to his ATP ranking. The Spaniard remains with the 13,550 points he arrived with at Indian Wells 2026, having matched last year's result. However, he sees his lead over Jannik Sinner reduced by 650 points, and if the Italian wins the championship, Alcaraz will be just 2,150 points ahead. While the lead may seem significant, Sinner has nothing to defend until Rome.

From March 2025 to March 2026. This is the gap that Carlos Alcaraz has kept open between his last two defeats on outdoor hard courts. That is, from the tough loss against David Goffin at the 2025 Miami Open to the one suffered tonight in the 2026 Indian Wells semifinals against Daniil Medvedev. In between, a streak of 34 consecutive victories with their corresponding titles. It is recorded as the third best mark with these parameters in the Open Era of the men's circuit.

Although on the outside he tried to give an image of serenity and unfinished work, surely Daniil Medvedev will be one of the happiest people in the world when it's time to go to bed today. The Russian defeated Carlos Alcaraz again after a long wait, sustained at a superlative level that reminded us of where his ceiling is. These were his first words at the edge of the court.
"I'm leaving with a great feeling, of course. I've played many times against Carlos, I've lost many times against him, he's an incredible player with some spectacular shots. Today, I needed to show my best version and I did. I served very well, saved a couple of set points, played a great level of tennis, and knew how to stay in the fight in the second set. I'm happy to have beaten such a strong rival as him," expressed the Moscow native into the mic of TennisTV.
