Before each day's play at the BNP Paribas Open, we'll preview three must-see matches.

Murray is a hard-courter, but he has never loved the conditions in Indian Wells. The Floridian is also not afraid to punctuate a winning point with a raised fist and a loud “Come on!” Neither of those things are likely to win him any extra love from Fognini. Kalinskaya; Wu vs. Nakashima; Parks vs. Etcheverry; Stephens vs. Fognini; Murray vs.

Face au prometteur tchèque Jiri Lehecka (21 ans), Arthur Rinderknech a été sorti dès le premier tour à Indian Wells (7-6 [4], 7-5).

Très agressif au retour, Rinderknech a été le premier à faire le break dans cette rencontre et s'il n'a pas réussi à conserver son avantage, les deux hommes ont livré un duel équilibré et accroché lors des minutes suivantes. Le jeu décisif ne lui a pas souri (plusieurs fautes) et s'il a réussi à revenir dans un deuxième acte mal embarqué, il a craqué sur la fin, en cédant son service pour ouvrir le chemin du deuxième tour au Tchèque. Le Tchèque affrontera le Russe Andrey Rublev au prochain tour.

The player Djokovic shares the record with for most majors won by a man, Rafael Nadal, also isn't in the desert; he has been sidelined since injuring his left hip flexor at the Australian Open. Next up for the 48th-ranked Nakashima is the tough task of facing 2022 U.S. Nakashima, a 21-year-old from San Diego, saved one set point for 2018 Wimbledon semifinalist Isner, who is 37, en route to grabbing the opening tiebreaker.

Tennis reporters Andrew John and Shad Powers offer some pro tips on some of the food options available at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden.

Shad: Bistro 88 is the latest venture to fill the luxury spot inside Stadium 1 where patrons can dine and sip wine while watching the top players through the large glass front that overlooks the court. Andrew: One thing that you should try is watching a match inside Stadium 2 while inside Nobu. That's the famous fried chicken spot that is part of the famous Momofuku Restaurant Group. Email him at [email protected]. The flavor combinations at this place are hard to beat. You can find them outside Stadium 1 by the B-Gate. Located inside Stadium 1, you must have a lower bowl ticket to access Sherman's. Andrew: Looking to stay on your diet while at the BNP Paribas Open? It's the same menu only Melissa's Market is located on the second level of Stadium 1 and Melissa's Fresh is inside the food village. Of all the ballpark dogs, Pink's has to be up there with some of the best. Check it out on the outside of Stadium 2. It's a nice alternative to traditional stadium food.

As the best men's and women's players in the world roll into beautiful Indian Wells for the 2023 BNP Paribas Open, many questions abound.

5 with a 16-match winning streak, three consecutive singles trophies and a spot in the ATP Finals. The Montreal native enjoyed a career year in 2022, winning four ATP titles and closing the season from Oct. He became the first player to beat Novak Djokovic this season, defeating the world No. He suffered a fourth-round loss at the Australian Open, then was unable to defend his Rotterdam title, losing to Medvedev in the quarterfinals and again lost to the Russian in Dubai. Despite a slight lapse in results, he’s still seeded eighth at Indian Wells, and with zero points to defend from last year, has a terrific opportunity to bolster his position in the rankings with a strong result. Last year, he lost in a mesmerizing three-set encounter to Nadal in the semifinals. The tennis legend has been out since the Australian Open with a hip injury, and with his Indian Wells runner-up ranking points set to drop off at the end of the tournament, Nadal will fall out of the top 10 for the first time in 912 weeks. Montreal’s Fernandez has gone 8-5 in 2023 and has reached the round of 16 at Indian Wells the last two years. Gauff and Pegula are just two of several talented Americans seeking to become the first homegrown winner of the tournament in 22 years. The 2021 US Open champion is now back to his best, and with the absence of Djokovic, he is the odds-on favourite to hoist the champions' trophy. His schedule then moved to the Middle East, where he continued his run of perfection, winning the ATP250 in Doha, and nabbing another ATP500 at the Dubai Tennis Championships. He’s one of the most talented hard-court players on earth, and he’s also rediscovered his mojo just in time for the desert.

Day 2 at the BNP Paribas Open is highlighted by an all-American clash of Grand Slam champions between Sofia Kenin and Sloane Stephens.

Former US Open champion Emma Raducanu's last match against Danka Kovinic was one of the most memorable of her short career to date.
