Indian Wells review: Sinner dominates, but is this the return of Medvedev?

Tennis Unfiltered

Calvin Betton is on training camp in North Carolina, George Bellshaw is dragging himself through Ironman regimes and James Gray is, well, still here.

They're back to talk all about tennis from the last seven days, which included the end of Indian Wells, a whole host of withdrawals from Miami and another glimpse of the new structure of the tennis tour post-Saudi spend.

  • Jannik Sinner won his first Indian Wells title, finally ending Daniil Medvedev's winning run...
  • ...but is the Russian, who is now back in the top 10, ready to become the third guy in men's tennis?
  • Jack Draper is back to winning ways, beating Novak Djokovic en route the quarter-finals...
  • ...but was he unfairly "hindered" by a hindrance call in his last eight defeat?
  • Elena Rybakina and Aryna Sabalenka slogged it out in the women's final...
  • ...and while Sabalenka won to ding-dong the head-to-head back in her favour, is it really a match-up that helps the women's game?

That and SO much more...
