Editor's Prediction
Bookmakers are almost certain of Sinner's victory, which seems rather odd given Medvedev's recent performances on the tour, especially his match against Alcaraz. Daniil's serve is currently as effective as Sinner's, and he feels quite confident on the courts of Indian Wells. We believe the Russian will definitely put up a fight, so we're backing Medvedev with a +5 handicap.
