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. Great names from the past, such as Boris Becker, Pete Sampras, and Steffi Graf, have also reigned at Indian Wells.
The prestige, the beauty of its setting, and the ideal timing make it one of the most anticipated events. The best players come to Indian Wells ready to shine in a Masters/WTA 1000. With the men’s and women’s draws star-studded, fans are guaranteed exciting tennis and plenty of dramatic storylines.

2024 BNP Paribas Open – Betting picks
With the BNP Paribas Open just a few days away, the eyes of the tennis world will turn to the desert for the “fifth major” of the sport. Who are the contenders looking to lift the trophy in Indian Wells this March?
Well, in the men’s draw, we have several legends, from Djokovic to Carlos Alcaraz, who comes to revalidate his title won in the 2023 edition. However, we will also have Jannik Sinner and Rafael Nadal, also favorites in the tournament.
In the women’s draw, we have Aryna Sabalenka, Elena Rybakina, Coco Gauff, and Iga Swiatek. Throughout the last few seasons, these four players have displayed an exceptional level that has kept them at the top of the rankings. However, Sabalenka and Swiatek, specifically, may be the candidates to win the women’s singles.
