Indian Wells - Sincaraz, Sabatek finals incoming?
Episode 1484
Thursday, 12 March, 2026

It’s only been a few days since the last pod but so much has happened at Indian Wells for Catherine, David and Matt to get stuck into. Part one - ATP (00:00 - 40:17) It’s been a thrilling week on the ATP side with the return of Jack Draper and Arthur Fils helping to reinvigorate the tour. We discuss Draper’s epic win over Novak Djokovic and the technical tweaks which have helped Fils on his return. But will it still be a Carlos Alcaraz - Jannik Sinner final? There’s chat about Alcaraz’s absurd level against Casper Ruud and Sinner’s steel in seeing off a fine performance from Joao Fonseca. Part two - WTA (40:18 - 1:11:48) The matches may not have quite lived up to expectations so far, but there’s still been plenty of intrigue. We cover Iga Swiatek’s perfect tactics against Karolina Muchova, Aryna Sabalenka displaying how she’s evolved her game by beating Naomi Osaka handily, the impressive form of Jessica Pegula, Elena Rybakina and Victoria Mboko, and the worrying pattern of Mirra Andreeva losing her composure in matches. Part three - News (1:11:49 - 1:23:50). We react to reporting in The Athletic about how the ATP and Saudi Arabia plans to reshape the men’s tennis calendar by going on a shopping spree and buying back tournament licenses.
