2024 Eisenhower Cup Indian Wells Draw With Sabalenka, Swiatek, Tsitsipas, Badosa & More
ATP
The 2024 Eisenhower Cup in Indian Wells will be played on March 5, 2024, and the draw was released for the event.
The Eisenhower Cup is a popular exhibition ahead of the Indian Wells Open, which is played in a fast-paced Tie-Break Tens format. In the past, it was played in many different venues with many different draws, but in the past two seasons, it's been a mixed doubles exhibition in Indian Wells.
That won't change this year, and tournament organizers once again managed to attract a very strong and competitive field of ATP and WTA players that is going to contest for the trophy.
All players have different reasons to enter. While some want to have a competitive practice ahead of the tournament, others want to play together before joining their forces at the Olympics, and some are just good friends, or a couple, wanting to spend some time together on the court.
The field for the event is really start-studded, as it features only eight teams. The first drawn team was Sloane Stephens, who replaced Jessica Pegula, and Tommy Paul, who will take on fellow compatriot Frances Tiafoe, and recent Australian Open finalist, Qinwen Zheng.
The winner of this quarterfinal will take on the winner of the match between Maria Sakkari, who replaced Elena Rybakina, and Andrey Rublev, who will play against Emma Navarro and Ben Shelton.
The best team from this part of the draw will take on the best team from the bottom part of the draw, in which, the defending champions, Aryna Sabalenka and Taylor Fritz, will paly against the Danish duo of Caroline Wozniacki and Holger Rune.
The Danes are one of those that likely want to practice for the Olympics, and the same applies to Iga Swiatek and Hubert Hurkacz, who will play against tennis couple Paula Badosa and Stefanos Tsitsipas in their quarterfinal match.
