Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz were drawn to meet in a potential blockbuster quarterfinal at the upcoming Indian Wells Masters 1000 tournament. The showdown would be a rematch of the Australian Open quarterfinal won by Djokovic before he retired during his semifinal with Alexander Zverev.

Carlos Alcaraz could run into Novak Djokovic in the quarterfinals in his quest for a rare Indian Wells three-peat, while defending women's champion Iga Swiatek also faces a tough test. Djokovic beat Alcaraz to reach the Australian Open semifinals in January and is hoping he can become only the third man to claim 100 career singles titles when the main draw of the tournament kicks off Wednesday in the California desert.

The New Orleans Saints released running back Jamaal Williams on Tuesday, reportedly clearing $1.59 million in salary cap space.

He took charge in 2023 and claimed back-to-back titles. If he lifts another trophy in the desert next Sunday, the 21-year-old will become the third player with three consecutive titles.He will join Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic, the ultimate tournament's legends, on the exclusive list.

The first-round spotlight will be on wild card Joao Fonseca, the 18-year-old Brazilian who upset Andre Rublev at the Australian Open and lifted his first ATP title in Buenos Aires in February. Fonseca will open his campaign against Britain's Jacob Fearnley, who has climbed from outside the top 500 in he world rankings this time last year to 81st.

Cameron Norrie, the last Brit in the main draw, plays Luca Nardi in round one as he looks to bounce back from an underwhelming start to his season. Should he beat the Italian he’ll come up against Czech rising star Jiri Lehecka, the 23rd seed, in the next round.

Already touted as the future of men's tennis, Spaniard Carlos Alcaraz continues to live up to expectations after accomplishing another feat that sees him leapfrog the legendary big three of Roger Federer,

Carlos Alcaraz, a two-time defending champion at Indian Wells, said the absence of world No. 1 Jannik Sinner "didn't change [anything] at all."

Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz are two of the biggest names on the tennis circuit today. Now, they are expected to renew their rivalry again at Indian Wells. This comes from their high-quality Australian Open quarterfinal earlier this year.
