The 2025 Indian Wells tournament is well underway as the stars of the WTA Tour search for success in the Californian desert.
Several top stars will believe they have what it takes to win the Indian Wells trophy, but some admittedly look in better shape to do so than others.
Polish world number two Iga Swiatek beat Maria Sakkari in last year’s final, picking up her eighth title at the WTA 1000 level.
The 23-year-old is yet to win a title on the WTA Tour this year, however, narrowly coming up short in Doha and Dubai recently.
Aryna Sabalenka reached the final of the Australian Open earlier this year but has struggled for form since, winning just one of her three matches in the Middle East.
The pair will enter the tournament as the top two seeds and have recently been handed a boost to their title hopes, as a former champion was forced to withdraw ahead of the event with an injury.
