Surprises abound when consulting the list of registered couples for the Indian Wells 2026 doubles tournament, and even more so for the pairs on standby waiting for a spot in the final draw. Among those guaranteed participation, the duo of Daniil Medvedev and Learner Tien stands out, as well as Luciano Darderi with Francisco Cerúndolo. We will also see friends Arthur Fils and Alejandro Davidovich, and cousins Arthur Rinderknech and Valentin Vacherot teaming up. What's most incredible is that a pair like Jannik Sinner and Reilly Opelka have not secured direct entry, along with other big names like Joao Fonseca and Ben Shelton.
The men’s doubles acceptance list for Indian Wells is officially out and there were some fun late sign-ups 👀
