Jannik Sinner made history on Sunday (15 March) by becoming the youngest man to complete the full set of hard-court trophies, defeating Daniil Medvedev in a thrilling Indian Wells final.
World number two Sinner overcame the resurgent Russian 7-6 (8-6), 7-6 (7-4) in just under two hours under the sweltering Californian sun.
The 24-year-old has now claimed both hard-court Grand Slams, winning the Australian Open in 2024 and 2025 and the US Open in 2024. He has also lifted all six Masters 1000 titles on hard courts—Miami, Toronto, Cincinnati, Shanghai, Paris, and now Indian Wells—alongside the season-ending ATP Finals. Only Novak Djokovic and Roger Federer have previously achieved this feat.
“I knew that this was a tournament I hadn’t won, so I wanted to prepare as professionally as possible,” Sinner said. “Achieving this milestone means a lot to me. Now I have a couple of days to relax, but there isn’t much time before Miami. It’s another important tournament, and we’ll try to play our best tennis there too.”
