Carlos Alcaraz's bid for a third straight Indian Wells title was brought to a halt on Saturday by Daniil Medvedev, who swept past the ​world number one 6-3 7-6(3) to set up a final against Jannik Sinner ‌after the Italian brushed aside Alexander Zverev 6-2 6-4, Reuters reported. 

Medvedev, who ended Alcaraz's 16-match winning streak to start the season, won six points in a row in the tiebreak before serving an ace to close out the match.

The ​Russian played smartly to break Alcaraz early and take a 3-1 lead, never relinquishing ​his advantage to claim the opening set, according to Reuters.
