Daniil Medvedev is truly unstoppable right now. If he were to win the ATP Masters 1000 tournament in Indian Wells on Sunday, the consecutive titles would rise to 4 for the Russian player, who before this moment of grace struggled to find the form that until just over a year ago allowed him to reach the first ATP ranking position.
Before the ride that will lead him to play in the semifinal against Frances Tiafoe, the Moscow native tennis player managed to conquer Rotterdam, Doha and Dubai consecutively, results that allowed him to regain the top 10 among other things.
If Medvedev manages to assert his extraordinary moment of form in the Sunshine Doubles, or the 1000 tournaments that take place in California and Florida, he could seriously get back on track to regain the position of number one in the world, an absolutely unthinkable result up to a month does.
During this tournament, however, the Russian suffered a sprained ankle which left him with some aftermath but fortunately at least up to now it hasn't been so penalizing for him in the game: "The truth is that I'm happy that my ankle hasn't hurt me too much bad, because when I warmed up it hurt a lot," he reassured about his physical condition.
Medvedev's incredible roadmap in the Masters 1000
Daniil, when in both physical and mental condition, was one of the main antagonists of the various Novak Djokovic, Rafael Nadal, Carlos Alcaraz was well known, especially on hard courts.
A figure testifies to how the former US Open champion did well on this surface, especially in the 1000 tournaments. From 2019 to today, the Russian is the player who has won the most semifinals on hard courts in this category.
As many as 9. Below him, at a distance of 3 lengths, Stefanos Tsitsipas, another tennis player who with the prolonged absence from the fields of Djokovic and Nadal has managed to establish himself with a certain authority.
Then here is Nole with 5 semifinals reached, a result probably conditioned by the stop received from the various tournaments due to his unvaccinated condition. Together with him here is Rafa. This interesting ranking is closed by Hubert Hurkacz and Alexander Zverev.
