Ons Jabeur will begin her 2021 Indian Wells campaign directly in the 2nd round. The last time she reached the 2nd round was in 2015 when she made her competition debut. The Tunisian comes from a runner-up finish at the 2021 Chicago Classic where she lost to Spain’s Garbine Muguruza that denied her the chance to win her 1st title on Hardcourts.

Anastasija Sevastova reaches the 2nd round of Indian Wells for the 6th time in her career as she makes a comeback win over Poland’s Polona Hercog defeating her 3-6, 6-2, 6-0. This is her first tournament on the Tour since her 1st round defeat at the 2021 US Open and ends her streak of 5 tournaments where she faced 1st round exits. The last time she won a 1st round match was at the 2021 Wimbledon Championships.
