Carlos Alcaraz's game against Daniel Medvedev overwhelmed the celebrity megastar and the Spaniard suffered his first loss of the year.
Celebrity megastar Dua Lipa seemed less than impressed with what she saw in the first set between Carlos Alcaraz and Daniil Medvedev.
In Alcaraz's semi-final match against Medvedev, it appeared the Russian star had the Spanish superstar's number, giving him the edge over the 22-year-old.Medvedev won the first set 6-3, and the fans in the stands watched as the star did everything he wanted against his younger opponent.

"Dova Lipa not impressed with Alcaraz's first set," read one post on X. Another commenter added: "He's making her nervous."
The second set was more competitive between the two, although it was clear that the momentum built by Medvedev in the first set was too much for Alcaraz to overcome as he suffered his first loss of the year.In the end, Medvedev advanced to the final to face Yannick Sinner, and both men had a chance to win their first Indian Wells title.
After his 6-3, 7(7)-6(3) win over Alcaraz, Medvedev took a moment to explain what his game plan was and how he felt knowing he had just beaten the world No. 1 man. "Yes, honestly it's a great feeling," he began immediately after his victory."I mean playing someone like Carlos, as I said on the court, the more you play, the more you lose.
He is an amazing player with amazing shots, defense, attack, serve, return and everything.So you have to be at your best and I was.
"I said one or two break points before the game, so in the second set I waited as long as I could but played great tennis and very happy to beat someone as strong as him."
And although Dua Lipa was disappointed by the result, Medvedev's victory is the result of his preparation against Alcaraz, since before the semifinal the star explained how he could beat the Spaniard.
"But he's the toughest opponent we have now, him and Jennik [Hota], maybe we're fighting because it's tougher.
