Emma Raducanu is in line to meet world No 3 Coco Gauff should she win her first-round match at Indian Wells, while Novak Djokovic and Carlos Alcaraz are on course for another blockbuster encounter in the men’s draw.
Raducanu will be in action for the first time since a traumatic ordeal at the WTA 1000 event in Dubai last month, where she was repeatedly approached by a stalker. The man managed to get into the first few rows at her second-round match before Raducanu spotted him; he was removed and later given a restraining order.
