 Daniel Medvedev vs Tommy Paul is the second semi-final for the men's Indian Wells for 2024. And both have been super impressive to get to the semi-finals. Paul entered the tournament as the 17th seed, and we're going to buy in the first round. In the second round he take on Mickelson, there's no problem getting through in straights, 6-2-6-2. In the third round he take on Umbair, number 14 seed who'd been in very good form. There's no problem with Paul getting through in straights, 6-4-6-4. Fourth round he take on the lucky loser Nardi, who had just beaten up Novak Djokovic in the previous round. But again, no problem for Paul getting through in straights, 6-4-6-3 to advance to the quarter-finals. In the quarter-finals Paul would take on the number 9 seed, Rude, who'd been in great form the last few weeks. But after dropping the second set Paul would have to fight back to win 6-2-1-6-6-3 to advance to the semi-finals. Medvedev entered the tournament as the number 4 seed, and would get a buy in the first round. In the second round he take on Bayana, there's no problem with Medvedev getting through in straights, 6-2-6-3. Third round he take on the number 29 seed, Kota, who'd been a problem for Medvedev in the past. And this was an ugly match, with Medvedev dropping the second, but eventually winning a 3, 6-4-5-7-6-3. Fourth round he take on the 13 seed, Demetrov, who hadn't dropped a set all week. It was too easy for Medvedev getting through in straights, 6-4-6-4 to advance to the quarter-finals. In the quarter-finals Medvedev would take on the number 7 seed, Rune, who'd been so good since getting Patrick Moritoglu back on board. And after a long first set Medvedev would eventually win in straights, 7-5-6-4 to advance to the semi-finals. These two guys have only played the twice before, with Medvedev winning both those matches, including a demolition last year in Beijing. So Paul's gonna finally get a win over Medvedev, he's gonna have to use everything in his power, and hope that Medvedev might be a little annoyed by maybe some crowd support against him. If Paul's gonna win this one, he needs to be aggressive like he was against Rude. Gonna come to the net as well, because we all know that Medvedev doesn't appreciate people coming to the net that much. Also get the crowd involved, try and get this crowd against Medvedev, because we know how annoyed Medvedev gets when the crowd are getting a little bit crazy. Medvedev's gonna win this one, he's gonna have to serve well, and just basically play the way that he did in Beijing. Beijing's a quicker surface than what he's playing on today, so it's gonna be a little bit different I guess, in the serving department, but if he serves well, and he plays well like he did in Beijing, he should be able to get the win over Paul again. Very fun matchup, maybe not the match we expected, especially with Tommy Paul being in Djokovic's section, but I gotta go with Medvedev in this one, in three sets. I think Paul could probably win the first set, maybe sneak it out in a tiebreak or something, but I reckon Medvedev eventually gets through in a very long three set up, but let me know down in the comments below, who do you think's making the final?
