Indian Wells 2025: Djokovic, Alcaraz, and Zverev in Action, Sinner to Miss the Tournament

The ATP Masters 1000 in Indian Wells will take place from March 5 to 16, bringing together the world's top tennis players. Two-time champion Carlos Alcaraz will aim to defend his title for the third time, competing against Novak Djokovic and Alexander Zverev. World No. 1 Jannik Sinner will not participate as he has been suspended from competition until May 4 due to doping.

American hopes will be represented by Taylor Fritz and Tommy Paul, who will be among the top eight seeds, along with Ben Shelton and Frances Tiafoe.

The main draw will feature 96 players: 79 direct entrants, 12 qualifiers, and 5 wildcard recipients. Two wildcard entries have already been announced — 18-year-old Brazilian Joao Fonseca (No. 78) and American talent Learner Tien (No. 83), who made an impressive run at the Australian Open.
