Indian Wells is one of the rare tournaments in which the men’s and women’s singles finals are both played on the same day.

Even if the women got an … 11 a.m. start. As much as that seems early, it’s mid-afternoon on the East coast and … prime time in Europe.

So it was a big day in the desert. And the theme was youth: 17-year-old Mirra Andreeva, early 20-somethings Jack Draper and Holger Rune.

And the grey lady of the day – 26-year-old Aryna Sabalenka. Who took losing to the kind – sort of well!

Draper was ALL OVER it in winning the biggest tournament of his life, and leaping into the top 10.

(Indian Wells is three hours behind ET).
