One of the top ATP tour tournaments outside of the four Grand Slams, the Indian Wells, officially begins on Wednesday, March 4th.
The qualifying rounds started on March 2nd, while the Round of 128 begins on Wednesday.
All of the top names in men's tennis are playing, including Carlos Alcaraz, Jannik Sinner, and Novak Djokovic, as well as Americans like Ben Shelton, Taylor Fritz, and Tommy Paul.
Alcaraz and Sinner have dominated men's tennis for a couple years now, as they've combined to win every Grand Slam tournament since the 2023 US Open when Djokovic beat Daniil Medvedev in the final.
However, the British Jack Draper beat Holger Rune to win the 2025 Indian Wells after Alcaraz won in 2023 and 2024.
Those two are the clear favorites to win Indian Wells - a hard-court surface. Let's take a look at the rest of the odds board to win the major ATP tournament.
