The 2nd day of the BNP Paribas Open Indian Wells Masters brings us both ATP and WTA matches as the round one's startup in full.
Yesterday was the first day of the 2021 Indian Wells Masters but we only saw 1st round matches from the WTA side of the event. Today we will see both the ATP and WTA in action in what promises be a full day of tennis in the desert. Similar to yesterday, it will start off at 20:00 CET and on the men's side, we will have veteran Sam Querrey take on Altmaier. Kecmanovic will take on Popyrin as another American McDonald takes on Duckworth.
A dying bread of serve and volley play will be shown by Cress against Djere with Nishikori taking on Sousa a bit later. In the night session, we will see an interesting matchup between Tiafoe and Paire as well as the best hair in tennis J.J. Wolf taking on Pospisil. On the WTA side, we will start off several interesting matchups such as Konjuh - Schmiedlova, Sevastova - Hercog and more.
Later on, we will see Vondrousova take on Golubic as Vekic plays Sharma. Kim Clijsters will also make her return to the desert as the Belgian tennis player is set to play against Siniakova at around 00:00 CET. It will be an interesting match against the Czech who likes to bomb away and Clijsters should measure herself nicely against such a player.
Later on, we will see a couple of Americans play such as Anisimova, Davis, Arconada, Liu, Riske and more. All of them will get heavy support from the crowd during the slugfest that is usually the night session in the desert.
