Indian Wells Masters 2025 draw was revealed on Monday.
Novak is among the stars who headline the field in ‘Tennis Paradise’, looking to achieve better result than last year, when he surprisingly made an early exit from the tournament, losing to Italian Luca Nardi in the third round.
The first ATP Masters 1000 event of the season, the BNP Paribas Open, takes place from March 5 to March 16 in the Indian Wells Tennis Garden.
Five-time former champion Djokovic is no.6 seed and has a first-round BYE. The Serbian ace will open his campaign in R2 against either Nick Kyrgios (AUS) or a qualifier.
Novak’s potential opponents in the later stages of the tournament are:
Third round: Francisco Cerundolo (ARG, 25), Alejandro Davidovich Fokina (ESP)Fourth round: Alex de Minaur (AUS, 9), Hubert Hurkacz (POL, 21)Quarterfinals: Carlos Alcaraz (ESP, 2), Grigor Dimitrov (BUL, 14)Semifinals: Taylor Fritz (USA, 3), Andrey Rublev (RUS, 7), Ben Shelton (USA, 11)
Alexander Zverev (GER, 1), Casper Ruud (NOR, 4), Daniil Medvedev (RUS, 5), Stefanos Tsitsipas (GRE, 8)… are in the opposite half of the draw and he could meet them in the final.
This will be Nole’s 16th appearance in the Californian desert, where he has lifted the trophy five times (2008, 2011, 2014, 2015 and 2016).
