The 22-year-old's second trophy of the season
means he will leapfrog Medvedev to number three when the
rankings are updated later on Monday.
"Every time you win a title, it doesn't matter how big, it means
a lot," Sinner said.
"I had a bit more attention (as Australian Open champion), but
when you earn something, you have to deal with that. I felt like
I was trying to put 100% effort into everything I've done and
that's the result of this week.
"It's going to start again from zero at Indian Wells, so I'm
already trying to improve. Let's see what's coming."
Sinner will look to gain ground on world number two and
defending Indian Wells champion Carlos Alcaraz in the hardcourt
tournament next month.
"My team, we did a really good job a few weeks ago and now we
did a very good job here. I'm really proud of the level I played
throughout the week," he said.
"We've been in tough situations but we handled it the right way.
We'll always try to improve, it's the most important."
