–

INDIAN WELLS, Calif. – It’s not every day (or every decade) that you have two fairly recent Grand Slam champions both in a 1000 draw – unseeded.

But that’s the case for this Indian Wells. And that means that an attractive matchup like Naomi Osaka vs Sloane Stephens is a second-day match on the stadium court.

Pretty wild.
