The 19-year-old Brazilian powered past the home favourite 6-2, 6-3 to set up his first Lexus ATP Head2Head meeting with Jannik Sinner. "I don't need to say that Jannik is a huge player.

The BNP Paribas Open always attracts a star-studded doubles field, with singles players often joining in on the fun in Indian Wells. One of the marquee duos in this year's draw is Jannik Sinner and Reilly Opelka, who previously teamed to win the 2021 Atlanta title. Nearly five years later, Sinner revealed he was the one who reached out to the American to reunite their partnership. "We have a lot of attention and tension while we play singles, so doubles helps us to work on a couple of things and trying also to relax. Also to not lose this match feeling is good." Sinner and Opelka will have their hands full in their opening match Monday, with top seeds Marcel Granollers and Horacio Zeballos across the net. Sinner's singles campaign in the desert is off to a strong start, with the Italian losing just seven games in beating Dalibor Svrcina and Denis Shapovalov en route to the last 16. Opelka beat Ethan Quinn in the opening round before losing to another American, Ben Shelton, in three sets on Friday.

#NextGenATP Joel Schwaerzler returned to the ATP Challenger winner's circle Sunday at the Rwanda Challenger, and in rare fashion, will meet his championship-match opponent Stefano Napolitano in the opening round of this week's event in Kigali. In just a matter of days, they will again stand across from each other. “It's never happened to me,” Schwaerzler said of the quick-turnaround rematch. “It's an unlucky draw I think for both of us. Second in the PIF ATP Live Next Gen Race, Schwaerzler's triumph in Kigali is his second Challenger title and first since May 2024. The lefty went one step further than his runner-up finish in Lugano last week, setting him up for a Top 200 debut in the next PIF ATP Rankings. The Kigali final started Saturday, but was postponed due to rain with Schwaerzler leading 7-6(5), 2-3. “After a tough loss last week in the final, it feels even better. “My goal was to get in the qualifying for Roland Garros, which I managed to do now with this title and a final last week.” Of the 12 sets Schwaerzler played this week, 10 went to a tie-break, nine of which were won by the former junior No. In his second-round match against Zdenek Kolar, Schwaerzler created a remarkable 25 break chances, converting 21 of them, according to Infosys ATP Stats. “But I managed to play a good level when it was important.” You May Also Like: The road starts here: Watch new ATP Challenger YouTube channel Ofner halts Budkov Kjaer's perfect final record, claims second consecutive title Schwaerzler was not the only #NextGenATP player making a splash on the ATP Challenger circuit.

6 Amanda Anisimova needed just 52 minutes to defeat Emma Raducanu and book her spot in the fourth round of the BNP Paribas Open. 6 Amanda Anisimova could not have asked for better performance Sunday against Emma Raducanu. From a powerful service game to a formidable return game, the four-time singles champion on the WTA Tour Driven by Mercedes-Benz blitzed Raducanu 6-1, 6-1 in a 52-minute masterclass. She advances to the fourth round of the BNP Paribas Open, where she will face Canada's Victoria Mboko. On Sunday, it seemed Anisimova was just one step ahead of Raducanu, and she evens the head-to-head at two matches apiece. She controlled Raducanu's movement, leveraged her power and found the perfect timing of her shots on the tricky, slower and bouncy Indian Wells court. I think that's been the biggest shift for me," Anisimova said to press on her recent form. "Hopefully I can try to keep that going. Redirecting her shots: Anisimova was exquisite -- as she was on her serve -- on the return. Often, Raducanu found herself outstretched, or Anisimova had too much pace on the ball that Raducanu knew she could not get to it. Then a few points later, to notch her fifth and final break of the match, she hit a solid backhand winner. Notable stat: Anisimova won 73% of Raducanu's first-service points, and converted 5-of-7 break point opportunities. Controlling Raducanu's court positioning and body positioning: Though many of the rallies were five shots or less, Anisimova created the space for winners by keeping Raducanu centered at her baseline. With the power behind her shots, Raducanu struggled to redirect the ball to push Anisimova out wide. Similarly, Anisimova excelled at landing her shots just on or inside the baseline, and Raducanu -- who mostly stayed on the baseline -- often had to bend down, and catch the ball right off the bounce. Consequently, it created a less-potent return, and allowed Anisimova to capitalize with winners. Notable stat: Anisimova recorded 21 winners, compared to just Raducanu's two -- one in each set. Serving Raducanu away: It felt like a given that when Anisimova was on her serve, she was going to take the game. Anisimova only had two aces on the afternoon, but frequently she created short, three-shot rallies where Raducanu managed to return the serve, but Anisimova would inevitably hit a winner down the line. 6 Amanda Anisimova needed just 52 minutes to defeat Emma Raducanu and book her spot in the fourth round of the BNP Paribas Open.
