Novak Djokovic will be seeking a historic 100th<\/sup> title, whilst 2022 champion Taylor Fritz will also feature.<\/p>\n World No 16 Barbora Krejcikova will not compete, due to an ongoing back injury.<\/p>\n Jannik Sinner, the world No 1, also will not compete at Indian Wells, after he accepted a three-month ban for failing two doping tests during the tournament in 2024.<\/p>\n \u2018Furious\u2019 Holger Rune retires due to food poisoning, 2 top 10 players also withdraw<\/a><\/p>\n How many points will Jannik Sinner, Carlos Alcaraz, Novak Djokovic, Alexander Zverev drop in March?<\/a><\/p>\n The 2025 Indian Wells ATP and WTA draws will take place on March 3rd<\/sup>, from 3pm \u2013 4pm local time.<\/p>\n With Sinner unable to play until May, both Alcaraz and Zverev will be looking to get closer to the Italian\u2019s ranking spot.<\/p>\n However, the Spaniard is defending 1000 points from the 2024 edition, meaning he cannot reach the world No 2 spot. The German is only defending 150 points, with a hypothetical deep run putting considerable distance between himself and Alcaraz.<\/p>\n The post 2025 Indian Wells: When is the draw?
