Check out our comprehensive guide to how to watch the Indian Wells Masters 2021 tennis, including schedule, final date, TV and live stream details.
Indian Wells Masters returns to the ATP and WTA calendars in the coming days with the finest men’s and women’s players in the world congregating for the second biggest tennis tournament in the US.
Of course, it’s hard to forget this year’s US Open as Emma Raducanu blazed to the most stunning triumph in the history of women’s tennis in New York.
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Elsewhere, women’s No.1 Ash Barty and men’s No.1 Novak Djokovic have both withdrawn from the tournament, while reigning men’s champion Dominic Thiem is out for the season through injury.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.
