Cameron Norrie made light work of Wu Tung-Lin in the second round of Indian Wells on Friday. The 10th seed broke his Taiwanese opponent four times on his way to a 6-2 6-4 victory, as he aims for his second title this year. Ad Norrie has started 2023 in excellent form and last week proved superior to world No.2 Carlos Alcaraz in the final of the Rio Open.
Carlos Alcaraz insists he is “ready” for Indian Wells and has played down any injury concerns. The 19-year-old was visibly injured in his Rio Open final defeat to Cameron Norrie on February 26 and withdrew from Acapulco the following week with a hamstring injury. Ad But the world No.
Picking a winner at Indian Wells over the last few years has been difficult. Did anyone have Cameron Norrie beating Nikoloz Basilashvili in the 2021 final? Or Paula Badosa the same year? Or wild card Bianca Andreescu in 2019? Even Taylor Fritz last year? Ad One of the biggest tournaments of the season, Indian Wells will see most of the top players – aside from Novak Djokovic and Rafael Nadal – competing over the next 10 days. ATP Indian WellsIndian Wells: Schedule, draw, seeds, prize money plus Djokovic and Nadal updatesYESTERDAY AT 11:03 But given it has been so unpredictable in recent seasons, who could cause a surprise this time around? Cameron Norrie — World No.
Emma Raducanu’s return to action ahead of Indian Wells has been delayed further after she pulled out of an exhibition event ahead of the tournament. The Brit was due to partner up with compatriot Cameron Norrie in the mixed doubles Eisenhower Cup exhibition but according to a report in the Telegraph, her management says she is being cautious with her body after numerous fitness woes over the last 12 months.
Indian Wells is often regarded as the biggest tournament of the tennis season outside the Grand Slams and season-ending finals – so why has it been so unpredictable in recent years? On the men’s side there have been five different champions in the last five editions, including Taylor Fritz in 2022 and Cameron Norrie in 2021, and on the women’s side there has not been a repeat winner since Martina Navratilova won back-to-back titles in 1990 and 1991. Ad That’s the longest streak without a repeat champion at a WTA 1000.
Andy Murray, Dan Evans and Jack Draper have been drawn in the same section as top seed Carlos Alcaraz for Indian Wells. Evans will join the tournament in the second round, since he is among the top-32 seeds, and could face Draper in his first match. Ad The winner of that would play Murray, if the three-time Grand Slam champion beats Tomas Martin Etcheverry and Pablo Carreno Busta.
Novak Djokovic extended his record of weeks as world number one to 379 in the latest ATP rankings released on Monday, although Carlos Alcaraz remains in hot pursuit.
After the Mexican Open field was significantly weakened by the withdrawals of Carlos Alcaraz, Stefanos Tsitsipas and Cameron Norrie, who would have thought it would be given some added intrigue by the world No. 842? Jacopo Berrettini, the younger brother of world No. 24 Matteo Berrettini, hadn’t ever played an ATP main-draw match before this week.
