The BNP Paribas Open is one of the most remarkable events on the ATP and WTA circuits, offering 1,000 ranking points to the winners. Held annually in March at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden in California, this tournament has a rich history dating back to 1974. On this occasion, we will have the main event held from March 6-17, 2024.
While the men’s event became part of the Masters 1000 series in 1990, the women’s tournament reached WTA 1000 status in 2009. That places the BNP Paribas Open among the most important tournaments on the tennis calendar, on par with the Miami Open, the Madrid Open, and the Canadian Open.
Over the years, the BNP Paribas Open has attracted the best players in the world. The impressive list of past champions includes legends such as Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, Novak Djokovic, Serena Williams, and Kim Clijsters.
