Bianca Andreescu fell to Kamilla Rakhimova with scores of 7-6(6), 0-6, and 1-6 in the first round of Indian Wells 2026. The Canadian, champion in 2019, returned to a major stage of the circuit after several weeks competing in ITF tournaments to regain rhythm and confidence. Andreescu took the first set in the tie-break, but the match completely shifted in the second set when she requested a medical timeout due to discomfort in her left foot. Rakhimova dominated the decisive set clearly to set up a match with Coco Gauff in the next round.

Novak Djokovic is already preparing for a new edition of the Indian Wells tournament, an event that will not feature Serena Williams. Not surprising that she won't be there, as she retired back in September 2022, but that was never the end. Asked about the return of the 23-time champion, these were the words from the Belgrade player.

"I think she will come back, I don't know, I haven't talked to her, but the feeling is that she is returning. Where and how, I don't know, if she will play singles or doubles, if I were in her position, I would also keep it secret. Everyone is very excited, it's highly anticipated, so we will see. She is one of the best athletes the sport has seen, it would be great to have her back," Nole assessed.

Just out of the oven, the Indian Wells 2026 order of play for this coming Thursday, March 5.

Additionally, four Spaniards will also debut this day: Dani Mérida, Roberto Bautista, Rafa Jódar, and Cristina Bucsa.

Although neither of the two players arrived in a state of supreme confidence, it has been reflected that the situation of Beatriz Haddad Maia is alarming today. The Brazilian has barely won a match so far in 2026, and fortunately for Spanish tennis, the second victory did not come tonight against Jessica Bouzas. Great triumph for the Galician in three sets (6-1, 67-, 6-1) to advance to the second round of the WTA 1000 Indian Wells, where she will face Czech player Noskova. With Paula Badosa already eliminated, the last Spanish player yet to debut is Cristina Bucsa, who will enter the fray tomorrow.

I think she is an incredible athlete and an incredible person. She is a role model for a reason. Our last match was great. I think she played wonderfully, and I always learn a lot when I share the court with her, whether in practice or in a match.
