Italian tennis player Jannik Sinner won the 2026 BNP Paribas Open title with a 7-6(6), 7-6(4) victory over Daniil Medvedev in the Indian Wells final.
In a dramatic final, Sinner rallied from 0/4 down in the second set tie-break against Medvedev, winning seven consecutive points to clinch the victory.
"I just kept believing and kept fighting," Sinner said when asked about his tie-break win.
"I was more willing to take risks. If it had gone to the third set, we would have started with a tie, so I tried my best to finish it off, and I'm really happy. It was a great ending."
The victory made Sinner the third man to complete six ATP Masters 1000 titles on hard courts, joining Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer.
By not dropping a set in California, the 24-year-old also became the first man to win consecutive Masters 1000 titles without dropping a set, following his perfect run in Paris last November.
A perfect week in California, which earned him his first title of the year, also narrowed the gap on world number one Carlos Alcaraz.
