Daniil Medvedev has been in the form of his life recently having won three consecutive tournaments. He has made it to the later stages of the majority of the tournaments he has played in the last couple of months. He lost to Sebastian Korda at the Australian Open in the third round after beating Millman and Giron in the first two matches. At the Paris Masters, he lost to de Minaur in the opening round itself, and at the ATP World Tour Finals, he failed to register a single win. At the Vienna Open, his time finally came as he lifted the trophy after beating the likes of Shapovalov, Dimitrov, Sinner, Thiem, and Basilashvili. At the Rotterdam Open, he lifted the title beating the likes of Sinner, Dimitrov, Davidovich Fokina, Van de Zandschulp, and Auger-Aliassime. After that, he also lifted the Qatar Open and Dubai Tennis Championships. In the ongoing Indian Wells, he beat Nakashima in the first-round matchup by 6-4, 6-3.
Ilya Ivashka is not an opponent that people will hope can beat the fifth-seeded Medvevdev but still is a major threat that Daniil shouldn’t take lightly at all. He has very rarely made it out of the first round in every of the last few tournaments he has played in, from the Australian Open where he lost to van de Zandschulp to the Dallas Open where he lost to Sock. He couldn’t even make it past the qualifiers stage at the Paris Masters and the Vienna Open where he lost to Otte and Nishioka respectively. In the ongoing Indian Wells, he received a walkover against van de Zandschulp in the round of 128 matchup when the former was leading by 5-7, 6-7, and then he beat Safiullin in the round of 64 stage by 6-4, 6-2.
