Tournament preview:

The Indian Wells Masters is an iconic event on the ATP and WTA Tour calendars, and the second biggest US tennis tournament is gearing up for a fascinating return to action.

The event was canceled in 2020 due to heightened COVID restrictions, but players will head back to the blazing sun of the California desert in a battle for glory way out west.

British interest has surged following Emma Raducanu’s stunning victory at the US Open next month, and fans have a chance to follow the ‘what happens next?’ story that she is writing for herself.

The 18-year-old has been handed a wildcard entry to the Indian Wells Masters – also known as the BNP Paribas Open – as her ranking points from winning the US Open were awarded after the cut-off date for Indian Wells entrants.

Raducanu finished 2020 as No.343 in the world but she has since sky-rocketed up to No.22 and all eyes will be on her as she returns to action in the desert.

Elsewhere, women’s No.1 Ash Barty and men’s No.1 Novak Djokovic have both withdrawn from the tournament, while reigning men’s champion Dominic Thiem is out for the season through injury.

Defending women’s champion Bianca Andreescu is included on the initial entry list.

Here in this article, you can know about the tournament schedule, when and where, how to live stream, TV channel info, and some other fact that you may enjoy.
