List of top seeds in Men’s singles for 2021 Indian Wells

The 2021 BNP Paribas Open at Indian Wells is underway after missing out last year due to the coronavirus pandemic. The event, which is annually held before the European clay court swing was postponed this year due to the pandemic and will welcome fans once again this time.

While the Big 3- Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic will miss the marquee event due to various reasons, many top ATP stars will be seen competing for the silverware. Defending champion Dominic Thiem will also be missing from the tournament this year due to a wrist injury.

The absence of the Big 3 means that all of the top 10 seeds of the tournament are 25 or less than 25 years old. US Open champion Daniil Medvedev enters the tournament as the hot favorite and top seed in the absence of Novak Djokovic.
