The Eisenhower Cup is set to return once again in 2024 at the Indian Wells Open in March, and there are many great players scheduled to feature.
Next month's event in Indian Wells will be the first combined Masters 1000 event of the season. It is the first Masters 1000 of 2024 to feature ATP players, while it is the third WTA 1000 tournament of the year.
There is an injury concern surrounding one of the defending Indian Wells champions. Carlos Alcaraz retired from his match in Rio with an ankle injury. Hopefully, he will be fit to defend his crown at the event.
There are also some traditions each year in Indian Wells. One of these is the Eisenhower Cup, which has been held year since 2018. All proceeds from it go to local charitable organizations and it has raised more than $500,000 since its debut.
The 2024 Eisenhower Cup will feature eight pairings competing in a fast-paced mixed doubles format that is sure to entertain the fans. The event is stacked with a huge list of top players featuring.
