Tennis News : US Open champion Medvedev confident ahead of Indian Wells

Daniil Medvedev feels he is heading into the Indian Wells Masters as a more confident player after clinching his maiden Grand Slam title at last month's US Open. The world number two beat Novak Djokovic in straight sets in New York and now has his sights set on winning Indian Wells for the first time. Despite struggling with the conditions at Indian Wells Tennis Garden in previous years, Medvedev felt in great shape heading into last year's tournament, only for the Covid pandemic to force a late cancellation to proceedings. But with a US Open crown now in his locker, and the renewed belief that comes with it, the Russian has high hopes of sealing a fifth career Masters title in the coming week.
