This week, Indian Wells dominated the tennis world, with 2024 champions Carlos Alcaraz and Iga Swiatek suffering similar fates but contrasting futures. Elsewhere, there was a top-10 reshuffle on the ATP Tour, three American women lining up in the WTA Tour top five and some retirees getting a nice new tournament.

Carlos Alcaraz crashed out of his Indian Wells three-peat bid on Saturday, and nerves played a key role in “one of the worst sets I have played in my career.” A four-time Grand Slam champion, Alcaraz said he was too focused on what weapons British left-hander Jack Draper might bring and unable to calm the pre-match jitters that prevented him from rising to the occasion.
