Overview
- Main‑draw play runs March 4–15 at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden, with a $9.415 million purse and 1,000 ranking points to each singles champion.
- Carlos Alcaraz is the No. 1 seed, Jannik Sinner No. 2 and Novak Djokovic No. 3, with Alcaraz and Djokovic placed in the same half of the draw.
- The ATP says a small number of players and team members remain in Dubai after last week’s event; Daniil Medvedev, Karen Khachanov and Andrey Rublev may be unable to travel in time, which would trigger seed adjustments.
- Fifteen players have withdrawn across both singles draws, including Holger Rune and Tallon Griekspoor on the ATP side and Barbora Krejcikova, Daria Kasatkina, Veronika Kudermetova and Elisabetta Cocciaretto on the WTA, with alternates confirmed.
- Novak Djokovic has confirmed his return and trained at UCLA ahead of the event, Venus Williams received a main‑draw wild card, and U.S. coverage will air on Tennis Channel.
