INDIAN WELLS, Calif. – No way to get past, over, under or through Iga Swiatek on Sunday, as she won the BNP Paribas Open before a game but overmatched Maria Sakkari.

And in the men’s final, after a bit of a slow start, Carlos Alcaraz was all over Daniil Medvedev and successfully defended his 2023 title.

The attendance in the desert (despite some unexpected rain days) was nearly 494,000. It was a record, and you could certainly feel it around the grounds.
