Djokovic, Sinner Set For Doubles On Monday In Desert


Novak Djokovic fans will get the chance to see the record 24-time Grand Slam winner twice in Indian Wells on Monday. 

After he meets Aleksandar Kovacevic in singles to start play at Stadium 1, he’ll compete in his doubles opener alongside Stefanos Tsitsipas

The wildcards are fourth up at Stadium 3, taking on defending champions Marcelo Arevalo and Mate Pavic

It marks Djokovic’s first doubles contest in the desert since 2019 when he reached the semifinals with Fabio Fognini. The Serb owns one career doubles title, along with his staggering 101 in singles.

Jannik Sinner also takes to the doubles court, partnering Reilly Opelka at Stadium 4. Second up, Sinner and Opelka get top seeds Marcel Granollers and Horacio Zeballos

Sinner — a four-time major champ in singles — landed his lone doubles crown with the 6-foot-11 Opelka in Atlanta in 2021. 

He collected his first Indian Wells doubles match win in 2024, when he and fellow Italian Lorenzo Sonego beat Karen Khachanov and Andrey Rublev
