The 2025 BNP Paribas Open has arrived, and as usual, it will be going down on Indian Wells, California. We are up to the 51st edition of the men’s event and 36th of the women’s event, in what is classified as an ATP Tour Masters 1000 event on the 2025 ATP Tour and a WTA 1000 event on the 2025 WTA Tour.
The men’s and women’s main draw events will be taking place from March 5th through the 16th, 2025 on outdoor hard courts at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden, so we are eager for things to get started.
