The ATP and WTA 1000 tournament season begins with the Indian Wells 2025 Tournament. The Californian event brings together the top stars of men's and women's tennis, marking the start of the tour of the United States.

Carlos Alcaraz won his first title of 2025 in February, triumphing in Rotterdam in indoor conditions and proving that he can be a very dangerous player on this surface as well. However, the world number 3 could have achieved an improved result at the Doha ATP 500 by taking advantage of the absence of Jannik Sinner and the premature elimination of Novak Djokovic,

Carlos Alcaraz is among the 2025 Laureus World Sportsman of the Year Award nominees! The four-time Major champion will seek the prestigious award against Mondo Duplantis, Leon Marchand, Tadej Pogacar and Max Verstappen.

Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz is the hot favourite to complete a rare Indian Wells three-peat while Poland's Iga Swiatek will look to become the only woman to win the tournament three times when the main draw gets underway on Wednesday in the California desert.

Jannik Sinner is spending his 38th week on the ATP throne. Jannik will stay away from the official tournaments by May following his agreement with the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). That opens the door for Carlos Alcaraz and Alexander Zverev to chip away at Sinner’s lead in the rankings.

Carlos Alcaraz knows that this phase of the season is very important for him. The former world No.1 – who won the title in Rotterdam in February before being knocked out in the quarterfinals in Doha – has very significant pressure ahead of the Masters 1000 in Indian Wells and Miami.

Alcaraz will go for his second Laureus statuette at the 26th edition of the prestigious ceremony, after being named among the candidates for World Sportsman of the Year. The Spaniard lifted two Grand Slam trophies in 2024, winning Roland Garros and Wimbledon back-to-back and defending his title at the BNP Paribas Open.

The Sunshine Double is coming up, and one player who won both of the events part of that double could potentially sweep both of them.

Cameron Norrie, the last Brit in the main draw, plays Luca Nardi in round one as he looks to bounce back from an underwhelming start to his season. Should he beat the Italian he’ll come up against Czech rising star Jiri Lehecka, the 23rd seed, in the next round.
