Vesnina on Medvedev: "He's rediscovering the game he had several years ago"

Daniil Medvedev is playing big at Indian Wells as he has a final to defend, which he lost at the time against Carlos Alcaraz.

So far, his journey in California is going very well; he hasn't dropped a single set along the way. He won very convincingly against Tommy Paul, even handing him a 6-0 in the second set.

Elena Vesnina spoke about her compatriot: "Daniil played a very balanced match, except at the beginning of the first set.

It's very difficult to play in America against local tennis players; they always play well at home. They have the support of the crowd.

However, Daniil has always played well at Indian Wells, even though we hear him complain every year about his lack of interest in these courts.

Medvedev has reached the final of this tournament twice. The match against Paul was very successful.

He's rediscovering the game he had a few years ago: serving well, playing actively from the baseline, and making few unforced errors.

He's gradually regaining his form."

Medvedev will face Arthur Fils for a spot in the semifinals of the Indian Wells Masters 1000.
