Shapovalov, like Fucsovics and João Fonseca, has a goatee — or is at least trying to grow one.
Their facial hair is promising, but none of them has cracked the Top 30 yet; they’re all unseeded.
Félix has just finished his match and Shapo has stepped on court.
Good. We like it when they’re synchronized.
Perfect timing.
Time to brew an espresso.
Tommy Haas with dark hair comes to the court to congratulate Gaël Monfils.
He got a souvenir, a standing ovation, but no interview on court.
Matchy pointy Félix Auger-Aliassime.
É só prestar atenção no que diz o umpire... só repetir. O cabra vai pronunciar corretamente O JOGO TODO.
Não entendo.
Aqui é "Áu-jer Elias-zim".
Tsitsipas é pior: Sissi-sissi-pah! Parece a imperatriz da Áustria duas vezes levando uma porrada na cara.
Gauff’s match is over. I thought I’d at least get a glimpse of Paolini X Potapova.
Instead: nothing. Just sit and wait for Osaka.
And of course — if there’s no American player, there’s no stream… in Canada.
Svitolina's husband is playing really well, by the way.
But he won't keep that level up for much longer.
Aliassime has never made QFs in Indian Wells.
The slow, gritty Indian Wells conditions have historically blunted his serve‑plus‑first‑strike game.
The only previous match between Monfils and Auger-Aliassime was ATP 500 Rotterdam, won by Gaël.
Félix lost his first seven finals, and that one was among them.
Monfils’ variety disrupts Auger‑Aliassime’s flat, linear game — it’s just not a comfortable matchup for Félix.
I'd love to watch Paolini X Potapova, but there's no stream available: the only women's tennis feed is, of course, reserved to Coco Gauff.
Now that Warner Bros. has been sold to Paramount, I can only hope the ridiculous monopoly some media companies hold in Canada finally starts to crack.
In his first match since the AusOpen, where he retired against Djokovic after winning the first two sets, Lorenzo Musetti lost to Márton Fucsovics in straight sets in Indian Wells.
Musetti’s forehand today is as unstable as a coach working with Emma Raducanu.
Let’s say things are not going well for Lorenzo Musetti: Fucsovics up a set and a break.
Fucsovics takes the first set 7–5 over Musetti in the battle of the two beauties.
Alexandrova in 2026:
- lost in the 1st round in Adelaide and AusOpen
- lost the final at WTA 500 Abu Dhabi to the qualifier #101 Sara Bejlek, but returns to the Top 10
- lost again in the first round in Doha, Dubai and Indian Wells.
Tabilo overpowering Jódar mercilessly.
Rafael will need to work on his footwork, especially on the serve side.
Alejandro Tabilo serving
Tabilo's style at serve: shorts-leg uptlifting with the ball outside it.
Shank!
Jódar isn’t exactly hiding the fact that he’s a Spanish tennis player.
🙃
I really like Tabilo’s very low backhand, but it needs more depth.
Jódar looks like a tall, thin Jaume Munar who plays like Andy Murray.
Tabilo seems to have joined the Macháč school of shorts‑leg uplifting.
Finally, the match we’ve been waiting for: Tabilo × Jódar.
Marozsan is finding a way to lose this: Bautista Agut now up a break in the third.
Two hours later and Marozsán and Bautista Agut are still playing.
At least another half hour is expected.
Hubert Hurkacz lost in straight sets to a player who had been on a record 15‑match losing streak (or 21, depending on how you count it).
It was only the second professional ATP‑level win of Kovacevic’s career — the other came against Jaume Munar in Miami in 2023.
Poor guy Hurkacz, completely lost on court, lost in straight set to Kovacevic in the first round of Indian Wells.

With his 9th ATP match win on hardcourt in 2026 (9-2), Sebastian Baez has already exceeded his number of ATP wins on the surface from 2024 and 2025 combined (8-26)
