BNP Paribas Open, Indian Wells, CA, 2026 - ATP Masters 1000

This final is not quite as interesting as the women's one.

What? for starters you cant compare a womens final to a mens final, different game

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Jesus Jannik you have been serving 'lights out' and your serve has gone missing in the 2nd set TB
Okay I spoke too soon back on serve 4 all lol!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

First I want to congratulate Meddy for a great tournament
This match was soo close and very little margins
Meddy deserves to be back in the Top Ten, has played like a Top ten player in Dubai and IW
Well done Meddy

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Jannik has created tennis history today ( you still make by blood pressure boil at times )
By winning IW at age 24, he is the Youngest Player Ever to win all major hard court titles,
Jannik Forza!

Really Meddy. How dense does one have to be? There were at least 3 balls that were sitters and he hit right back to his opponent. He couldn't possibly think Red wouldn't put a racquet on something in his wheelhouse. Anyway, Congrats to Red, but we've seen this movie before. Someone knocks one of Alcasin out the tourney and the other ends up winning it.

 

[Murat B.]

Congrats to Sinner. We also forget how good peak Med was. He is close. He can spoil a lot of parties if and when he gets back there.

Press Conference Med v Alcaraz

And if I hear Chuck say he's never seen someone play a certain way one more time. Dude, he's been playing like that for the last month, that's what your coaching staff is for. Try watching someone else's match for a change instead of your own Sportscenter hilight reel.

Tell me about it! I don't normally watch Medvedev b/c he absolutely frustrates me! He hits these great shots, then doesn't back it up allowing his op. back into the pt.! It makes no sense to continue allowing the same thing to occur against the elites of the game! His volleys need work b/c he has no confidence in them!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

I need to say this again,
Tommy Has is still a Very Handsome Man!
Also Jannik didnt Melt in the Heat a first for the fair skinned red hair Italian I am a Southern Italian we are dark hair and olive skin usually

Daniil should have won a TB after 4:0 lead. He folded there at the end.

I think we have to give credit to Jannik he won the last 7 points in the 2nd TB, he never faced a BP, he stayed strong and he had ice in his veins, Meddy made some ufe, I guess that was the pressure

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Jannik Sinner has become the First Player to win consecutive ATP Masters 1000 events without conceding a set, since the formats introduction in 1990. Groundbreaking!

 

[PhiEaglesfan712]

Oh please Stefano's is already lost lol his ranking is now top 40
Zverev just hasn't got mental ability to win a grand slam Jannik dusted him off the court today 62 64
Med has being playing good ball of late especially in Dubai and IW

The fall of Stefanos is one of the most baffling things ever. He has way too much talent to be ranked outside the Top 40 in the world, and he really hasn't had a serious injury to explain his decline.

At least with Zverev and Medvedev, while they will not win slams, they can still make deep runs in tournaments, and still beat a top player every once in a while. Stefanos has just been getting progressively worse for 5 years now, ever since blowing the 2021 French Open final.

Stef has had back problems over 1 year, he should have taken time off the tour to heal his back even when he had that short stint with Goran Ivanisevic who told him he was very unfit and he must get fit before Goran could continue coaching him? well he didnt like the 'truth' and that didnt coaching arrangement lasted about two weeks I think LOL! also he has done nothing over the years to correct his bhand,,maybe if he had a proper coach, rather than daddy, it could have been corrected, talent can only get you so far in our game, our game today is around 80% mental, which Stef lacks.

You can give credit to Red for some of those points, but not all 7. There were definitely some donations thrown in there.

I did say in my post that Meddy did have ufe if you read all my post to Don Fabio, still under pressure players often have ufe, which was the case in the 2nd TB.
Also I dont believe in 'shoulda coulda won, to me that is a 'hypothetical scenario' and dosent deal with the actual facts in any match

I never said he shoulda woulda coulda won.

I know that but it you look at Don Fabio's post he said Meddy was 4-0 and should have won the 2nd set TB and I was clarifying why I dont believe in ':shoulda woulda coulda' scenario's.

Poor shot selection by Medvedev hitting the ball stupidly back to Sinner often on big points. 1 or 2 less of those dense moments and the match was his. He always throws in these stupid pusher shots like a clown but I'm very pleased with his level all the same. The match was very winnable though so it's a pity. His backhand is something else and forehand was absolutely brilliant too against Alcaraz and Sinner. Hopefully he keeps this level up.
