The wait is now over. In just a few hours we will know the main draw, both men and women, for Indian Wells 2024, the first Masters 1000 for the ATP circuit. There are many unknowns that remain to be resolved in one of the great events of the year.
Novak Djokovic and Iga Swiatek are the ones who arrive as the main candidates for the title, although not as the only favorites for it. Last season, it was Carlos Alcaraz who won the trophy in the men’s field, in a final in which he beat Daniil Medvedev without too many problems. In the women’s part, it was Elena Rybakina who gave the blow against Aryna Sabalenka in a tighter final.
This year, in addition to those named, Jannik Sinner arrives in the Californian desert as the man to beat on the ATP circuit after having had a spectacular close to the 2023 season on hard courts and starting 2024 with his first Grand Slam at the Australian Open . On the female side, we will also have to take into account Coco Gauff who is playing at home again, with the extra confidence that this entails.
