Stefanos Tsitsipas vs Jordan Thompson

Greek tennis star Stefanos Tsitsipas has been knocked out of Indian Wells after losing against Australia’s Jordan Thompson in the second round. Tsitsipas’ hopes of becoming world number 1 were quashed when he lost a 7-6(0) 4-6 7-6(5) against Thompson.

The second-seeded Tsitsipas had his shoulder taped and the injury appeared to affect his backhand. Jordan took advantage of Tsitsipas’ injury and defeated the Australian Open runner-up in two hours and 37 minutes.

Alexander Zverev vs Pedro Cachin

Zverev defeated Argentine Pedro Cachin, 66th, by 2 sets to 0 with partials of 6-3, 6-1 after 1 hour and 18 minutes of duration in court 2 of the Indian Wells Tennis Garden.

The game had been suspended shortly after 21:00 GMT due to the rain with 5 to 3 for the German and resumed around 23:30. Zverev was limited to losing one game after the stoppage and secured himself in the third round to face the Finnish Emil Ruusuvuori, 59th, who lost his only meeting in 2021 at the Masters 1000 in Miami, USA.

Daniil Medvedev vs Brandon Nakashima

Daniil Medvedev underlined his status as a hot favourite this week in the desert with a 6-4, 6-3 opening win against Brandon Nakashima on Friday night. The fifth seed entered the BNP Paribas Open as the ATP Tour’s most in-form player, winning three consecutive titles and 14 straight matches, and his winning streak — now at 15 — was never in jeopardy thanks to an assured performance against the San Diego native.

Nakashima gave his home crowd plenty to cheer about, firing big forehands and defending brilliantly at times, and even hitting a tweener that his opponent volleyed into the net in set two. But Medvedev had all the answers when he needed them, saving all six break points against him to secure the win in one hour, 26 minutes at the year’s first ATP Masters 1000.

Aryna Sabalenka vs Evgeniya Rodina

The No. 2 seed on the women’s side, Sabalenka made a definite statement in her first-round match, winning on Stadium 2 6-2, 6-0 in just 65 minutes. Sabalenka dominated the match with her serve, scoring five aces and winning 80 percent of her first serve points. Sabalenka moves forward to take on Lesia Tsurenko, a qualifier who defeated No. 29 Donna Vekic on Friday.

Coco Gauff vs Cristina Bucsa

Coco Gauff, the American teenage tennis sensation, rolled Friday in her first match at the BNP Paribas Open. Her 6-2, 6-4 win over qualifier Cristina Bucsa of Spain came in just an hour and 17 minutes inside Stadium 2 at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden. Gauff, 18, will play again Sunday versus the winner of the Amanda Anisimova versus Linda Nosková match.

Jessica Pegula vs Camilia Giorgi

Third-ranked Pegula, the top-ranked American playing at Indian Wells, overcame a difficult first set to beat Italy’s Camila Giorgi, 3-6, 6-1, 6-2, late Friday on Stadium Court. In the final match of the night that concluded at 11:57 p.m., Pegula quickly went down a break and lost the first set.
