Stefanos Tsitsipas is back in Indian Wells after more than one year and a half. The last time that the tournament was played was in March 2019, when Dominic Thiem defeated Roger Federer in the final. Last year, the tournament was canceled at the last minute after the pandemic started to stop all the events all over the world.
Stefanos Tsitsipas will be seeded number 2 following the absence of Novak Djokovic. He has already hit the practice court and didn’t miss the chance to address his fans asking for support.
Tsitsipas will be one of the top favorites to win the prestigious ATP1000 alongside Daniil Medvedev and Sascha Zverev. The draw will be revealed on the 5th of October.
