–

INDIAN WELLS, Calif. – They’re spreading out the first round of doubles over the first four days this y ear.

And so it is that the Gabriela Dabrowski – Luisa Stefani reunion only starts on … Sunday.

The two have been here awhile. But they got it done efficiently.

Beyond that, we were looking at the all-teen matchup between American Coco Gauff and Czech Linda Noskova as a possible upset in the making. But it didn’t happen.

(Indian Wells, Calif. is on PT, three hours behind ET. Don’t forget the clocks go forward an hour Saturday night)
