Carlos Alcaraz wins 6⁶-7⁸, 6-3, 6-2 against Arthur Rinderknech
That was a fun match to watch, Rinderknech was up a set and a break and playing unbelievably well before Alcaraz turned things around and improves to 14-0 in 2026.

Sonay Kartal gets it done 2-6, 6-2, 6-3 against Madison Keys
She stayed solid, and it paid off, hardly making any unforced errors in the last couple of sets. Keys played flawlessly in the opening set but its a win for Kartal in this one.

Djokovic/Tsitsipas surprisingly completely dominate the #3 seeds in the doubles draw.
Only drop 5 games in under an hour
Casper Ruud wins 3-6, 6-3, 6-4 against Valentin Vacherot. Good win for Casper, is back in form this week.
Iga Swiatek wins 6-3, 6-2 against Maria Sakkari. Definitely more clinical from start to finish unlike her opening round, always plays well here at Indian Wells and gets revenge for Doha.
Idk about disqualified but I do think a fine is probably coming.

Elina Svitolina wins 6-4, 6-2 vs Ashlyn Krueger
Much cleaner performance than the mess of a match the other night vs Laura Siegemund

Alex Michelsen wins 6-4, 7⁸-6⁶ against 2022 champion Taylor Fritz
Good recovery after not serving the match out. The set point save was absolutely unbelievable at 5-6 in the tiebreak.
Katerina Siniakova wins 4-6, 7⁷-6⁵, 6-3 against defending champion Mirra Andreeva
This was an ugly match to say the least, Mirra could not handle the pressure of being the defending champion, threw her racket again and left the court to some boos.

A very impressive victory for Belinda Bencic 6-3, 6-2 over Elise Mertens. Will face Pegula next, looking forward to that one.
Rinky Hijikata upsets Alexander Bublik 6³-7⁷, 7⁷-6³, 6-3. Did not face a break point in the match.
Jack Draper wins 6-1, 7-5 against Francisco Cerundolo
Good win, he will face Djokovic next and there is probably nowhere he'd rather face Djokovic more than at Indian Wells. It'll be their first meeting in about 5 years.
Novak Djokovic survives 6-4, 1-6, 6-4 against Aleksandar Kovacevic
Its Djokovic's first trip to Round 4 at Indian Wells since 2017, has not enjoyed the conditions here recently despite being a 5-time champion, but is through today.

Jessica Pegula wins 4-6, 6-3, 6-2 against Jelena Ostapenko
Good win, Ostapenko came out playing well and it took Pegula a bit to find her game, but completely turned things around once she did.

Cam Norrie wins 6-4, 6-4 against Alex De Minaur. Not many places Cam Norrie enjoys playing than here at Indian Wells, won the trophy back in 2021 and has had some nice runs since.
Karolina Muchova won 6-0, 6-3 vs Antonia Ruzic, that was a rather easy win to start the day there.
Marquee Matches on Monday:
Iga Swiatek vs Maria Sakkari
Prediction: Swiatek in 2
Elena Rybakina vs Marta Kostyuk
Prediction: Rybakina in 3
Casper Ruud vs Valentin Vacherot
Prediction: Ruud in 2
Jack Draper vs Francisco Cerundolo
Prediction: Draper in 3
Monday doesn't quite have the marquee matches that today had but it should still be a good day of tennis:
Djokovic, Andreeva, Swiatek/Sakkari, Alcaraz, Rybakina/Kostyuk, Pegula, Draper, Fritz, Keys, Medvedev, De Minaur. Djokovic/Tsitsipas and Sinner/Opelka in doubles too.
Victoria Mboko wins 6-4, 6-1 against Anna Kalinskaya

Frances Tiafoe wins 6-1, 6-2 against Flavio Cobolli
This may be the most surprising scoreline of the week, not that Tiafoe won, but the fashion. This was a complete beatdown and for the first time this year, Tiafoe beats a player ranked above him

Its over, Gauff retires for the 2nd time in her career after 2022 Cincy.
Said at net she felt something in the 2nd game in her arm.
Alex Eala moves to Round 4.
Amanda Anisimova wins 6-1, 6-1 against Emma Raducanu
A complete beatdown in this one just like in Canada. It was 6-2, 6-1 in the match last summer in Montreal, and 6-1, 6-1 here. Seems to be playing her best tennis of the season so far this week.

Fairly routine win and he will face Fonseca or Tommy Paul in the 4th Round.

Alejandro Davidovich Fokina wins 6-2, 4-6, 6-2 vs Jakub Mensik

Jasmine Paolini wins 7-5, 5-7, 6-1 vs Ajla Tomljanovic.
