The second week of the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells promises to be a cracker with several top players in the mix. World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka, two-time champion Carlos Alcaraz and home favorite Coco Gauff will continue their respective campaigns for silverware on Day 6 of the main draw action at the ATP 1000 event.
Sabalenka will be eager to go past the Round-of-16 stage in the Californian desert for the second time in six career appearances later this week when she takes on Italy's Lucia Bronzetti on Monday (March 10). The Belarusian notably finished runner-up at the Palm Springs event in 2023.
Alcaraz, meanwhile, picked up the 2023 and 2024 titles in Indian Wells and won his 14th consecutive match at the tournament on Saturday to reach the third round. The Spaniard will have his work cut out against the in-form 27th-seeded Denis Shapovalov, who reigned supreme at the Dallas Open earlier this year.
Trending
Gauff reached the semifinals of the BNP Paribas Open last year, where she lost to former World No. 3 Maria Sakkari. The American will have revenge on her mind when she faces off against the Greek in a blockbuster third-round encounter.
There are several other matches on Day 6's lineup that have the potential to entertain fans, including Ben Shelton's first-ever meeting with Karen Khachanov, Madison Keys' outing against Elise Mertens and the showdown between Grigor Dimitrov and Gael Monfils. Let's take a look at how the matches will go down:
