So nothing will happen in Indian Wells 2023 with the hit between Stefanos Tsitsipas and Gael Monfils. Because the Frenchman has to really get into the groove again, had no chance in his first appearance since Montreal last summer in a 3: 6 and 1: 6 against Jordan Thompson.
Another veteran also had to say goodbye to the individual tableau on the first day: John Isner lost the domestic American duel with Brandon Nakashima 6:7 (9) and 3:6. Nalashima can now play against Daniil Medvedev, Isner should not be underestimated in doubles with Jack Sock. After all, the two won the title in Indian Wells last year.
Zverev's opponent is certain
From a German perspective there were mixed feelings on Wednesday: while Oscar Otte won against Laslo Djere, Maximilian Marterer Alejandro Tabilo had to admit defeat. By the way, AlexanderZverev's first opponent is now certain: It will be Argentinian Pedro Cachin.
Apropos: Diego Schwartzman was also able to celebrate a win again. And against his compatriot Federico Coria. And with Jiri Lehecka and Yibing Wu, two interesting youngsters also made it into round two.
