The first favorite of the tournament in Indian Wells, also the best tennis player in the world, Daniil Medvedev, was defeated in the second round.
Gael Monfils from France, who is currently the 28th tennis player in the world, defeated the Russian, with the result of 4:6, 6:3, 6:1.
In the first set, it seemed as if Medvedev would routinely end the match because he won the first set with one break and took the lead.
However, in the second set, things turned around, Monfils was the first to take a break, which Daniil immediately fought back, but Gael made another one and equalized in sets 1: 1.
The third deciding set was played where Gael completely dominated and deservedly celebrated.
His next opponent is the Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz.
