BNP Paribas Open, Indian Wells, CA, 2026 - ATP Masters 1000

[Fiero425]

Checked results to see

OMG, Davidovich Fokina records his 13th loss after holding MP. He's a real head case. But you can see why Tien is a nightmare for him. Too much resistance, and he loses his way.

Just checked results to see Tien moving along nicely! He seems to relish pressure, survivng matches in TB's! Very impressive!

I was right there was nothing wrong with Novaks arm, he and Stef easily beat the No 3 seeds in Pavic/ Arevalo 63 62 the defending IW Doubles champions
He is just promoting his new sleeve which he has launched Novak x Incrediwear
I take no notice of his arm shaking at all lol! I dont get 'sucked in' to his dramatics on court.
Lets see how he goes against Draper

This was pretty entertaining:



Quite an accomplishment beating the third seeds and defending champs.

I know a guy who owned a French bulldog.

Ha! I got everybody beat. Freshman year of High School Mr. Cross taught my 1st period French class. I'm fluent w/ about 4 lines of French...

 

[kskate2]

I already loved Learner's game. But he's grown rapidly under Chang and you can see the difference he's made. First w/ a more productive serve. He's never going to blow anyone off the court, but his placement, spin and consistency has gotten so much better even from the USO. He should possess a degree in geometry. The way he opens the court w/ angles is extremely impressive for a 20 yr old.

 

[Moxie]

Wow, tight set. Fonseca had his chances, but Sinner comes good in the TB.

 

[Murat B.]

Holy crap, now there is Titsak. The guy apparently entered every category accept the women's draw...which is a missed opportunity as this is California and all he had to say was he is gender fluid and bam !
And his father was spotted checking wheelchairs ! They have no shame.

I'm trying to figure out which one you're talking about.

Murat LOL! well seeing Stef went out early in singles he teamed up with Novak in the doubles they won 1 match and he has linked up with fellow Greek player Sakkari in the mixed doubles, hey he has bills to pay

 

[Moxie]

Fonseca breaks back at love, and the Brazilians are losing it! This is a good match. Fonseca is certainly trying to prove his mettle.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Well done Fonseca, you made Sinner work hard for the win
This young man has the game to threaten /defeat all the Top players, he is only 19 yo and still growing in his body, just has to work on leg strength and movement and power harnessing % goes up he will be a 'beast"
My favorite youngster just a joy to watch!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Murut you can sleep peacefully tonight knowing,
You will pleased to know the 2 Greeks won their first round mixed doubles match

QF Matches,
Bottom Half of the draw,

Zverev (4) vs Fils (30) Zverev leads their H2H 4-2 Most recent match was on clay May 2025, Zverev won in SS

Sinner (2) vs Tien (25) Sinner leads their H2H 1-0 Their only match was the Beijing Final 2025, Sinner won in SS

 

[don_fabio]

Fils came back chasing 0:5 in the 2nd set TB. Some great tennis in the last 10 minutes from both. I hope Fils stays healthy. He started to work with Ivanisevic..

Did Zverev decide to play more agressive? It looked like that to me.

Is Fonseca Sinner match worth a replay? It was too late for me to watch.

Thien has great hands and when on fire is a joy to watch. He can really hit those angles and when in zone he doesn't miss a ball.

I would say definitely watch Fonseca Sinner on replay. It was a good match. Didn't see Zverev, to your question.

Don Hi!
Thien who only looks about 15 lol! has a great understanding of the court perimeters and uses it to his advantage, one would think he was brought up on clay, he uses the whole court,which enables him to translate his game to all surfaces, the one thing that is missing is a better serve if Change can improve his serve, to me he is a top ten player.
