–
As with the women, there are no seeds in action among the men as the BNP Paribas Open gets under way.
But there are some really good players on the sked including Kei Nishikori, former champion Cameron Norrie and others.
American wild cards Nishesh Basavareddy and Tristan Boyer were among the newcomers to the main draw in the desert.
And Gabriel Diallo got in late as a lucky loser – but wasn’t able to complete his match. He’ll have to come back on Thursday.
(Indian Wells is 3 hours beind ET)
