Indian Wells favorites
If you look at the recent past on the ATP tour and take into account the absence of superstar Novak Djokovic, there is actually only one top favorite for the title in the Californian desert: Daniil Medvedev. With a sensational season record of 19:2 and his recent three tournament wins in a row in Rotterdam, Doha and Dubai, the Russian is currently clearly the best player on hard court on the tour. However, the reinvigorated US boys could pose a threat to him on the way to the title. In addition to defending champion Taylor Fritz, Frances Tiafoe and Tommy Paul, who is particularly up-and-coming this year, should also be mentioned. But the Australian Alex de Minaur, who is in top form, and the Greek tennis star Stefanos Tsitsipas are also among the closest favorites for tournament success, as are Andrey Rublev and Alexander Zverev, who is getting better and better.
The question marks
Small question marks regarding the current form are currently behind some top players who recently had to struggle with injuries and slumps in form. The Spanish number two in the world, Carlos Alcaraz, can always be expected at major tournaments, but his physically demanding game recently forced him to take an unwanted break due to injury – the Spaniard's fitness level still leaves a few questions unanswered. The same for Jannik Sinner and Sebastian Korda, the youngsters were both plagued by minor injuries. The signs for Casper Ruud are also still a little unclear – the former number two in the world has surprisingly not been able to win as many wins this season and is not yet in top form.

Thiem and the place of success
Equipped with a wildcard, Dominic Thiem has the opportunity to go on the hunt for points, which is so important for him, even at the 1000 level - he fell out of the top 100 in the world rankings this week. The search for form can therefore continue in California, where those who rehabilitated themselves in 2019 after a moderate start to the season with a tournament victory and then started their successful run to number three in the world rankings and the US Open title. It remains to be seen whether the success story will be repeated - but with the Interwettenspecial bet on the world ranking position at the end of the season, you can already place your bet as to whether the Austrian will still be able to turn things around this season.
The currently weak top names Lorenzo Musetti and Diego Schwartzman also urgently need a sense of achievement and important world ranking points, both of whom - like Thiem - are still lagging behind their performances of the past few days.
It remains exciting to see who will be crowned champion in the desert and win the first Masters tournament this year. At Interwetten you get top betting odds for all games as well as other special bets on everything to do with tennis.
