The first qualifying round of men's and women's singles competitions at the 2025 BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells promises to be a cracker with several great players on the match card. Former World No. 9 Fabio Fognini and a resurgent Ajla Tomljanovic headline Day 1 of the qualifying round in men's and women's singles, respectively.

Fognini, who has contested the main draw at the Indian Wells Masters 14 times in his career, is currently on a comeback trail. The Italian was forced to withdraw from this year's Australian Open at the last minute due to a serious foot injury. The 37-year-old has had his fair share of run-ins with injuries in the previous few years but will be looking to put his troubles behind him by qualifying for the 2025 edition of the tournament in Palm Springs.

Tomljanovic, meanwhile, also suffered from a variety of physical issues before her 2024 comeback. The former World No. 32 Aussie gave a good account of herself reaching the semifinals of last week's ATX Open. The 31-year-old's career-best result at the BNP Paribas Open came in 2021 when she reached the fourth round.

Aside from the usual prospects, several local favorites are in action in the Californian desert, such as Brandon Holt, Taylor Townsend, Christopher Eubanks, Zachary Svadja, Elliot Spizziri, Ethan Quinn, and Michael Mmoh, among other notable names.
