Key Storylines
Medvedev New Major Champion: Medvedev is fresh off the biggest title of his career at the US Open. Will the Russian be able to maintain his momentum and claim his second Masters 1000 trophy of the season? The World No. 2, who has won four tournaments this year (Marseille, Mallorca, Toronto, US Open), will try to add another victory at Indian Wells, where he owns a 3-3 record.

Tsitsipas Shining: Tsitsipas will be the second seed in just his third appearance in the BNP Paribas Open (1-2). The Greek star has shown great consistency at Masters 1000 events this season, advancing to at least the quarter-finals in five of the first six events at this level. Tsitsipas won his first Masters 1000 title in Monte-Carlo, where he did not lose a set, and will try to claim another in Indian Wells.

FedEx ATP Race To Turin Heating Up: Several players are trying to stake their claim to one of the remaining spots at the Nitto ATP Finals, to be held at the Pala Alpitour in Turin from 14-21 November. Thanks to his efforts in San Diego, Casper Ruud moves into eighth in the Race. And since Rafael Nadal will not compete in Turin due to injury, that leaves room for Hubert Hurkacz, Felix Auger-Aliassime and Jannik Sinner among others to push for a spot.

#NextGenATP Debuts: Since the BNP Paribas Open has not been held since 2019, there are several #NextGenATP stars who will make their debut at the Masters 1000 event. Umag champion Carlos Alcaraz, Parma titlist Sebastian Korda, Newport finalist Jenson Brooksby and Italian Lorenzo Musetti will all make their main draw debuts at the hard-court event.

New Champion Incoming: There is guaranteed to be a first-time BNP Paribas Open singles champion in 2021. Will Cincinnati titlist Alexander Zverev, Wimbledon finalist Matteo Berrettini or Russian star Andrey Rublev make their mark in the desert?
