(Reuters) - Daniil Medvedev said he will need to play at a "20 out of 10" to beat defending champion Carlos Alcaraz in Sunday's Indian Wells final in the California desert.

Medvedev beat Tommy Paul 1-6 7-6(3) 6-2 in the semi-final on Saturday to set up a clash against two-times Grand Slam champion Alcaraz - a repeat of last year's final.
