The ATP 1000 event in Indian Wells, also known as the BNP Paribas Open, is often referred to as the fifth Grand Slam and in 2023, it will run from March 8th to 19th.
Every player that is healthy competes in Indian Wells and this year, the entry list features star names again. It was led by world no. 1, Novak Djokovic, but the Serbian withdrew from the event, as he was not able to enter the United States.
His biggest rival and fellow 22-time Grand Slam champion, Rafael Nadal was also supposed to compete at the event, but he withdrew because of an injury. Youngsters such as Carlos Alcaraz, Stefanos Tsitsipas, Casper Ruud, Felix Auger-Aliassime, and Holger Rune will also want to make a name for themselves.
The defending champion is Taylor Fritz, and none of the Big Three managed to triumph in Indian Wells in the past five years. The event was cancelled in 2020 and since 2018, it was won by Juan Martin Del Potro, Dominic Thiem, and Cameron Norrie.
The entry list is very long and it includes sound names such as Daniil Medvedev, Alexander Zverev, Frances Tiafoe, Matteo Berrettini, and many more. You can see the full ATP entry list for the 2023 Indian Wells BNP Paribas Open below.
