Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner were locked to play in the first notable final with two players born in 2000s! However, things did not go their way a couple of times, and Jack Draper and Holger Rune stole the show in Indian Wells!

The start of the 2025 season has once again shown how Carlos Alcaraz has not found yet the necessary consistency to be able to dethrone his top rival Jannik Sinner. The current world No.3 has won one title at the start of the year – the Rotterdam ATP 500 – but has not been as brilliant in the other three tournaments he has played.

Jack Draper ousted defending champion Carlos Alcaraz from Indian Wells in a bizarre semi-final that featured a pivotal double-bounce controversy early in the deciding set.
