Updated entry lists for the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells, coming up next on the Atp World Tour calendar.
The Indian Wells Master 1000 is one of the biggest events of the year, formerly called “Pacific Life Open” and now named “BNP Paribas Open”. It is played on the outdoor hard courts of the awesome Indian Wells Tennis Garden in California.
Last year the surface’s speed was ranked between “Slow” and “Medium Slow”, slower than Miami’s one. Still, the hot and dry climate makes the ball go fast in the air, favoring the powerful players.
Serbia’s Novak Djokovic was the tournament’s champion in 2016, as he defeated Canada’s Milos Raonic in the final.
As usual, it has been organised a pre-qualifying tournament, to set one or two wild-cards for the qualifying draw. First seed Marcos Giron (def Clay Thompson 6-3 6-4) and third seed Evan Song (def Michael Geerts 6-3 7-6) will face off in the final.
Spain’s David Ferrer (achilles injury) and France’s Gilles Simon (fatigue) have withdrawn from the event. Kevin Anderson and Donald Young have taken their place in the main draw.
NEWS: Radek Stepanek and Marco Chiudinelli withdraw from qualifying, Andrew Whittington and Alexander Bublik replace them.
NEWS: Marcos Baghdatis pulls out from the main draw, Russia’s Konstantin Kravchuk gets in.
NEWS: Marcos Giron earns a WC into the qualifying draw beating Evan Song 7-5 6-3 to win the pre-qualifying tournament.
NEWS: Milos Raonic pulls out from the main draw. He is replaced by Dmitry Tursunov. Hyeon Chung out of qualifying draw, Sam Groth gets in.
