Held during the second week of the BNP Paribas Open, the Phoenix Challenger is a four-hour drive from Indian Wells, providing a landing spot for players who exit early from the ATP Masters 1000 tournament. Among the others in the draw are Terence Atmane, Kamil Majchrzak — who took a set off Novak Djokovic in California — Marcos Giron and Ethan Quinn.
Last year, #NextGenATP Joao Fonseca won the title, defeating Alexander Bublik in a blockbuster final.
