Over the next few hours, we will have to endure the same question in all the press conferences of the Media Day of this Indian Wells 2025 tournament: 'How is the new surface?' So here we go, let's not try to stop it because this is already unstoppable. Here are the impressions of Elena Rybakina, the champion of the 2023 event who was absent last year due to injury.

"I feel that the court is not much faster, but I will say that maybe the bounce is a bit lower. The last few days have been very windy, there was also a lot of sun, so that also makes it a bit different, regarding the bounce. Anyway, in my opinion, I think the court is still nice," evaluated the Kazakh, currently ranked No. 7 in the world.

This is an automatic translation. You can read the original news, Rybakina: “La pista no es mucho más rápida, pero el bote sí es más bajo”
