Tennis tournament
TheBNP Paribas Open at Indian Wells is an annual professionaltennis tournament held inIndian Wells, California , United States. It is played on outdoorhardcourts at theIndian Wells Tennis Garden , and is held in March. The tournament is part of theATP Masters 1000 events on theATP Tour and part of theWTA 1000 events on theWTA Tour .
The tournament is the best-attended tennis tournament outside the fourGrand Slam tournaments (493,440 in total attendance during the2024 event);[ 1] it is often called the "fifth Grand Slam" in reference to this.[ 2] The Indian Wells Tennis Garden has the second-largest permanent tennis stadium in the world, behind theUS Open 'sArthur Ashe Stadium inNew York . The Indian Wells Open is the premier tennis tournament in theWestern United States and the second largest tennis tournament throughout the United States and the Americas (behind the US Open in theEastern United States ).
Preceding theMiami Open , it is the first event of the "Sunshine Double " — a series of two elite, consecutive hard court tournaments in the United States in early spring.
Between 1974 and 1976, it was a non-tour event and between 1977 and 1989 it was held as part of theGrand Prix Tennis Tour . Both singles main draws include 96 players in a 128-player grid, with the 32 seeded players getting a bye (a free pass) to the second round.
Indian Wells lies in theCoachella Valley (Palm Springs area), about 125 miles (201 km) east ofdowntown Los Angeles .[ 3]
The tournament is played in theIndian Wells Tennis Garden (built in 2000) which has 29 tennis courts, including the 16,100-seat main stadium, which is thesecond largest tennis-specific stadium in the world.[ 4] After the2013 BNP Paribas Open , the Indian Wells Tennis Garden started an expansion and upgrade of its facilities that includes a new 8,000 seat Stadium 2.[ 5] The revamping of the tennis center also included a "Pro Purple" interior court color created specifically for theATP Masters Series and first used at Indian Wells, citing the purple colorbeing 180 degrees and exactly opposite the yellow of the ball.[ 6]

The tournament was founded by former tennis prosCharlie Pasarell andRaymond Moore . It has been known by a number of names, and accepted numerous corporate sponsorships, throughout its existence. The French multinational banking groupBNP Paribas has held thenaming rights since 2009.[ 7]
Originally the women's tournament was held a week before the men's event. In 1996, the championship became one of the few fully combined events on both theAssociation of Tennis Professionals andWomen's Tennis Association tours.
The Indian Wells Open has become one of the largest events on both the men's and women's tours. In 2004, the tournament expanded to a multi-week 96-player field. Winning the Indian Wells Open and theMiami Open back to back has been colloquially termed theSunshine Double . Dubbed the "Grand Slam of the West",[ 8] [ 9] it is the most-attended tennis tournament in the world other than the fourMajors , with over 450,000 visitors during the 2015 event.[ 10]
In 2009, the tournament and theIndian Wells Tennis Garden were sold toLarry Ellison .[ 11] [ 12]
On March 8, 2020, the tournament was postponed, and later canceled, to halt the potential spread ofCOVID-19 .[ 13]
Williams sisters boycott [ edit ] Venus andSerena Williams refused to play the Indian Wells tournament from 2001 to 2014 despite threats of financial sanctions and ranking point penalties. The two were scheduled to play in the 2001 semifinal but Venus withdrew due to an injury. Amid speculation of match fixing, the crowd for the final loudly booed Serena when she came out to play the final and continued to boo her intermittently through the entire match, even to the point of cheering unforced errors and double faults.[ 14] Williams won the tournament and was subsequently booed during the awards ceremony. Nine days later, while attending theEricsson Open ,Richard Williams , Serena and Venus's father, stated racial slurs were directed at him while in the stands at Indian Wells.[ 15] He said that while he and Venus were taking their seats for the final, multiple fans used the racial slur and one spoke of skinning him alive.[ 16] When asked about her father's allegations, Venus said "I heard what he heard."[ 16] Indian Wells tournament director Charlie Pasarell said he was humiliated by the crowd's reaction, adding, "I was cringing when all that stuff was going on. It was unfair for the crowd to do that."[ 17]
After a phone call fromLarry Ellison (the multi-billionaire founder ofOracle , tennis enthusiast and most recent owner of the tournament), Serena Williams returned to Indian Wells in 2015, ending her 14-year boycott of the event.[ 18] [ 19] [ 20] Venus Williams ended her boycott by competing in Indian Wells the next year.[ 21]
