More about the Indian Wells 2025 tennis players
More about the tennis players in Indian Wells 2025
Novak Djokovic – with coach Andy Murray again in his corner after their Australian Open trial – seeks a sixth title to add yet another outright record to his stellar resumé and is in the same quarter as Alcaraz, Melbourne Park runner-up Alexander Zverev will be top seed and seeking to put the final loss to Sinner behind him and Medvedev wanting to go one better. Ben Shelton, semi-finalist in Australia, will be a home hopeful to go with third seed (and 2022 champion) Taylor Fritz.
The women’s singles is wide open. Iga Swiatek may have won two of the past three titles at Indian Wells, but hard courts are far from the Pole’s favorite surface, while top seed Aryna Sabalenka has struggled in 2025 since losing the Australian Open final to a resurgent Madison Keys. Keys is the only player on tour to win two titles this year and should be inspired by a home crowd that will also cheer for third seed Coco Gauff.
A potential second round opponent for Gauff is former US Open champion Emma Raducanu, who returns to action after a worrying incident in Dubai where a fan displayed ‘fixated behavior’ and had to be ejected. Another big potential second round tie – all seeded players receive a first round bye – could feature Olympic champion Qinwen Zheng against two-time Indian Wells winner Victoria Azarenka.
Finally, fresh from becoming the youngest Masters 1000 winner in Dubai, 17-year-old Mirra Andreeva will be looking to back that triumph up with her biggest win yet.
