Indian Wells: Alcaraz, Swiatek Win Titles
Indian Wells Open: Carlos Alcaraz defended his trophy after beating Daniil Medvedev 7-6(5) 6-1, whereas Iga Swiatek bagged the 20th title of her career without dropping a single set across the tournament, defeating Maria Sakkari 6-4 6-0, at the Indian Wells Open final.
For Alcaraz, the journey to defend his title was riddled with challenges and doubts. Nursing an ankle issue, the young Spaniard faced an uphill battle against the formidable Daniil Medvedev in the final. Alcaraz rose to the occasion, staging a remarkable comeback after a tense opening set. After a tight opening set which Medvedev led 6-5, Alcaraz forced a tie-break which he edged 7-5 to take the advantage in the contest.
In the second set it was a different story as Alcaraz steamrolled the world No. 4 to clinch his first title of the year - and first since Wimbledon last summer.
