Who is playing at Indian Wells?
Almost the entire world class: Carlos Alcaraz, Stefanos Tsitsipas, Casper Ruud, Taylor Fritz, Andrey Rublev, Daniil Medvedev, Holger Rune... and of course Alexander Zverev. Dominic Thiem , winner in 2019, is at the start thanks to a wildcard.

Taylor Fritz. Last year, the American surprisingly won in the final against Rafael Nadal, who was unbeaten in 2022.

A short time later, Fritz entered the top ten in the tennis world for the first time.
