With draws already made, the schedule of the Indian Wells has been decided.

The ATP version of Indian Wells saw Taylor Fritz emerging triumphant in 2022. Fritz went into the match with an ankle injury and had to create a strategy around that. He faced Rafael Nadal, who was also injured, but couldn’t dominate the game as usual.

This season starts off with Taylor Fritz being the fourth seed. The 2022 Wimbledon quarterfinalist received a bye, along with Tommy Paul. Like the two American stars, Carlos Alcaraz also received a bye for his first round and has advanced to the round of 64.
