Sinner beats Zverev to reach first Indian Wells final

Italy's Sinner, a four-time Grand Slam champion, recorded his sixth straight win over the fourth-ranked German, and will face either world number one Carlos Alcaraz or Daniil Medvedev in Sunday's title match. Spain's Alcaraz, who completed a career Grand Slam with his Australian Open triumph this year, rode a 16-0 2026 winning streak into his later semi-final against the Russian. Sinner saved the only break point he faced in a commanding display of precision and power. Zverev delivered two impeccable service games before he began to falter.
