Indian Wells - The story so far

Catherine, David and Matt catch up on the biggest talking points so far at Indian Wells.

Part one (00:00 - 12:00). We start by picking up where we left off last week with an update on how tennis players escaped the United Arab Emirates as the conflict in the Middle East escalated.

Part two (12:01 - 38:35). Men’s draw. Joao Fonseca is having a big week and now faces Jannik Sinner, Carlos Alcaraz remains the man to beat, Luciano Darderi accidentally called a hindrance on himself and lost the match, Arthur Fils and Jack Draper are continuing to impress on return, and what to make of Novak Djokovic?

Part three (38:36 - 1:16:53) Women’s draw. A rare injury scare for Coco Gauff, Amanda Anisimova’s demolition of Emma Raducanu, excitement ahead of Naomi Osaka and Aryna Sabalenka’s first meeting since 2018, and Iga Swiatek’s recurring second set drop off. There’s also chat about the Eisenhower Cup exhibition and some predictions for the rest of the tournament.
