Indian Wells Open 2026 tennis order of play and TV coverage – Sunday 15 March
We've rounded up the full Indian Wells Open 2026 TV details, schedule and order of play today.
The Indian Wells Open 2026 reaches its conclusion today (Sunday 15 March).
World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka will first battle No. 3 seed Elena Rybakina, who has won four of their five previous finals – including at the WTA Finals and the Australian Open – in what will be their third final meeting in just over four months.
"It feels great. I've lost a couple of finals here, so I'll make sure that I'm more than ready on Sunday," said Sabalenka. "I'll bring my best tennis – this is the year."
Meanwhile, Rybakina said she is ready to "fight as much as I can", adding: "Hopefully it's going to be a great match."
Elsewhere, Jannik Sinner will not face world No. 1 Carlos Alcaraz, who had enjoyed a perfect start to his 2026 campaign, after Daniil Medvedev secured a 6–3, 7–6 (7–3) victory in California.
"It's an amazing feeling to beat someone like Carlos – the number one in the world," said Medvedev. "In a way, when you play him or Jannik or Novak [Djokovic], it doesn't matter what the ranking is.
"It's just a great feeling to play them – and to beat them, of course, is even better."
Sinner booked his place in the final by seeing off Alexander Zverev in the semi-finals, praising his own "great performance – very solid from the back of the court".
"I tried to go for my shots and that felt like one of the keys," he added. "He has a huge serve, so I tried to mix it up. From my side I was very precise and it was a solid performance.
"I thought the match would be more physical, but when both players serve well it's difficult to get into a rhythm with short points."
The hard court tournament in California, which is an ATP 1000 and WTA 1000 event, is seen by many as the sport's fifth major – attracting a star-studded field and huge crowds to match that title.
The heady combination of the world's top players, the hard courts of Indian Wells, and the Californian sun always makes for a thrilling watch – and the good news for viewers in the UK is there will be extensive coverage throughout.
