Carlos Alcaraz and Iga Swiatek will be in action on Sunday at the 2024 BNP Paribas Open.

Day 5 of the 2024 BNP Paribas Open at Indian Wells features a star-studded line-up with the sport's biggest names.

World No. 1 Iga Swiatek remains one of the few players to make it through the early rounds without a fuss. She barely broke a sweat over the course of her 6-3, 6-0 win over Danielle Collins in the previous round.

Swiatek will now look to continue her quest for a second title here on Sunday. Defending champion Carlos Alcaraz is another big name in the fray and is up against a familiar rival.

While there are quite a few exciting matches planned for the day, here are the five matches that one cannot afford to skip:


#1 - Iga Swiatek vs Linda Noskova

Noskova brought an end to Swiatek's Australian Open campaign a few weeks ago as she beat the World No. 1 in three sets in the third round. The Pole will be out for blood this time as she'll be eager to even the score with a win at Indian Wells.

Date: March 10, 2024.

Time: Starting at 11:00 a.m. PT, 2:00 p.m. ET, 6:00 p.m. GMT, and 11:30 p.m. IST.


#2 - Stefanos Tsitsipas vs Frances Tiafoe

Stefanos Tsitsipas is the 11th seed at Indian Wells.
Stefanos Tsitsipas is the 11th seed at Indian Wells.

This will be the sixth career meeting between the two, with Tiafoe having the upper hand with a slim 3-2 margin so far. He won their last couple of matches as well. The American has only won back-to-back matches just once this year, so it's advantage to Tsitsipas heading into this contest.

Date: March 10, 2024.

Time: Starting at 11:00 a.m. PT, 2:00 p.m. ET, 6:00 p.m. GMT, and 11:30 p.m. IST.


#3 - Carlos Alcaraz vs Felix Auger-Aliassime

Defending champion Alcaraz lost his first three encounters against Auger-Aliassime. He won his first match against him en route to winning the title here last year. The Spaniard will be keen for an encore to keep his title defence going.

Date: March 10, 2024 (USA, Canada, UK/Europe) and March 11, 2024 (India).

Time: Not before 1:00 p.m. PT, 4:00 p.m. ET, 8:00 p.m. GMT, and 1:30 a.m. IST.


#4 - Jannik Sinner vs Jan-Lennard Struff

Jannik Sinner is the third seed at Indian Wells.
Jannik Sinner is the third seed at Indian Wells.

Sinner has forgotten how to lose this year as he continues to rack up wins. Next up for him is Struff, who has a rather dismal 4-6 record for the season. Nevertheless, he's quite a dangerous adversary, though the Italian has found a way to get past whoever is on the other side of the net so far.

Date: March 10, 2024 (USA, Canada, UK/Europe) and March 11, 2024 (India).

Time: Approx at. 3:00 p.m. PT, 6:00 p.m. ET, 10:00 p.m. GMT, and 3:30 a.m. IST.


#5 - Caroline Wozniacki vs Katie Volynets

Wozniacki scored consecutive wins for the first time this season with her wins over Zhu Lin and Donna Vekic at Indian Wells. She'll look to keep the momentum going against rising American star Volynets. This is a great opportunity for both to make a deep run at the tournament.

Date: March 10, 2024 (USA, Canada) and March 11, 2024 (UK/Europe, India).

Time: Not before 6:00 p.m. PT, 9:00 p.m. ET, 1:00 a.m. GMT, and 6:30 a.m. IST.
