Seven straight points from Jannik Sinner in the tiebreaker to win the title in Indian Wells for the first time with a 7-6 (6) 7-6 (4) victory over the resurgent Daniil Medvedev

Sinner served magnificently in the heat. Faced no break points and Medvedev was never broken either

Jannik Sinner wins one of the tightest sets you will see, no breaks, just one minibreak in the tiebreaker and it's decisive as Sinner closes it out 7-6 (6) over Medvedev to take the early lead in this barbecue pit of an Indian Wells final

1st set Medvedev has lost in the tournament

Tiebreaker in the opening set of this Sinner-Medvedev final. No breaks yet but one man is about to lose his 1st set of the tournament

Just 37 minutes into this summit meeting, Elena Rybakina is up a set and an early break on No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka

Thumping alert?

First break and first set to Elena Rybakina over No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka

6-3 for Rybakina whose serve and forehand are smoking in the #IndianWells heat

Sabalenka, it would seem, will need to use her all-court skills to change the trend

Medvedev, who has lost 4 straight to Alcaraz, gets the early break in the heat. Looks sharp but it's early days
