The first ATP Masters 1000 event of the season kicks off on Wednesday with the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells. Carlos Alcaraz, Jannik Sinner, Novak Djokovic and defending champion Jack Draper are among the headliners of the tournament.
The 50th edition of the Tour-level event will be broadcast globally, and you can find out how to watch in your region here.
The 2025 hard-court event was won by first-time Masters 1000 champion Draper, who defeated Holger Rune in the championship match. Draper returned from a left arm injury last week in Dubai and advanced to the second round.
According to the Infosys ATP Win/Loss Index, Alcaraz, the No. 1 player in the PIF ATP rankings, won at Indian Wells in 2024 and 2023 and arrived in the California desert with a perfect 12-0 record that year. Alcaraz became the youngest man to complete a career Grand Slam at the Australian Open before winning his 13th ATP 500 title in Doha.
Second seed Jannik Sinner has won all five other Hard Court Masters 1000 trophies but has yet to dominate in Indian Wells. The second-seeded Italian, a two-time California semifinalist, will find his first-round opponent in Monday’s draw at 3 p.m. local time.
Back home, Taylor Fritz looks to reclaim the title he won in 2022, the latest victory for an American man in the event. Djokovic, a five-time desert champion, is tied with Roger Federer for the most wins at the event, although the Serb has not lifted the trophy since 2016.
