Day 1 of the BNP Paribas Open 2025 at Indian Wells will get underway with some of the most well-known names in the sport. The ATP and WTA tours have converged at the same venue for the first time since the Australian Open. Four-time Major champion Naomi Osaka is one of the leading names to headline the tournament's first day.
Osaka's campaign at the Australian Open ended in a heartbreak as she was forced to retire in the middle of her third-round match due to an injury. The same injury also caused her to throw in the towel in the final of the ASB Classic before that. She took part in an exhibition match against Aryna Sabalenka a couple of days ago and seems perfectly fine now.
Osaka, a former Indian Wells champion, will begin her quest for a second title against Camila Osorio. Petra Kvitova's return from maternity leave will continue with a first-round showdown against Varvara Gracheva. Two-time Major champion Victoria Azarenka will also take to the court on Wednesday, as will former Indian Wells champion Cameron Norrie, along with Reilly Opelka, Kei Nishikori, and Caroline Garcia, among others.
On that note, here's a look at the schedule for Day 1 of the BNP Paribas Open:
