Indian Wells: the roster with seven Azzurri but no Jannik Sinner

Jasmine Paolini, in the women’s tournament, è number 6 seed

It starts with the prestigious Indian Wells tournament. As many as seven Italians will be starting, although Jannik Sinner, the world number one, who is currently suspended by Wada, will be missing. Matteo Berrettini and Lorenzo Musetti, seeded seeds, ended up at the top of the draw. Both will enter play starting in the second round.

Also in the upper part of the scoreboard are Flavio Cobolli (will challenge a qualifier) and Luca Nardi (will face the dangerous Cameron Norrie). In the lower part, however, stage Matteo Arnaldi who will challenge Aleksandar Kovacevic, Lorenzo Sonego (debut with veteran David Goffin) and Luciano Darderi (first match against Facundo Diaz Acosta).

Carlos Alcaraz, the title holder, could find, in the quarterfinals, Nole Djokovic who, in turn, in the second round, could face Nick Kyrgios, who is ready to return to the court. The No. 1 seed, Alexander Zverev, has a smoother path, at least on paper, than the Spaniard.

In the women’s field, Jasmine Paolini è number 6 seed. She will make her Indian Wells tournament debut against the winner of the Grabher-Jovic match. On the Italian tennis player’s way is world number one Aryna Sabalenka. The two could face each other in the quarterfinals.
