This trip came together at the last minute, but when it comes to Indian Wells, it’s impossible to stay away. There’s no place quite like it—stunning desert views, near-perfect conditions (minus today’s wind gusts), and world-class tennis at every turn.
A Windy, Yet Electric Day 💨
It was Day 2 of qualifying, and for a Monday, the grounds were buzzing. Fans showed up in big numbers, taking advantage of one of the best deals in tennis—$10 tickets for an all-day pass to incredible matches.
Beyond the qualifiers battling for their spot in the main draw, top players were already on-site, getting in practice reps before the tournament heats up.
Madison Keys Returns to the Court 🎾
One of the biggest sightings of the day: Madison Keys is back!
After capturing her first Australian Open title, this is her first tournament since that career-defining moment. It was great to see her back on court, finding her rhythm ahead of the Sunshine Swing.
Qualifying Standouts 🔥
Here are a few names who made an impression in today’s qualifying action:
✅ Ethan Quinn & Taylor Townsend advanced to the second round.
✅ Eliot Spizzirri had a quick turnaround but powered through his opening match.
✅ The grind is real—plenty of intense battles across the grounds as players fight for a coveted main-draw spot.
