No Sets, No Break Points: Sinner’s Indian Wells Run Was Simply Perfect

Jannik Sinner’s first Indian Wells title was earned in the most emphatic manner possible — no sets dropped across the entire tournament, no break points faced in the final. His 7-6(6), 7-6(4) victory over Daniil Medvedev completed a masterclass two weeks in California.
Sinner had started the 2026 season without the fireworks some had expected, but his Indian Wells campaign was a definitive statement of his quality. From his first match to the final, he was in total control of every situation he encountered.
Medvedev offered the stiffest test in the final, drawing on the form that had produced a stunning win over Sinner in a recent semi-final. His 4-0 lead in the second tiebreak appeared to finally have rattled the Italian, but Sinner’s response was remarkable — seven straight points to clinch the match.
The statistics from Sinner’s campaign are staggering. No sets dropped. No break points conceded in the final. A comeback from 4-0 down in the second tiebreak. And all to claim the one major hard-court title that had evaded him until now.
Sabalenka added to the occasion with her own incredible women’s final performance, saving a match point against Rybakina before winning 3-6, 6-3, 7-6(6). The personal context — her engagement and new puppy — made it one of the most joyful weeks of her professional life.
