Indian Wells kicks off

Special guest Spencer Segura returns to the show to help Jimmy and Brett breakdown an exciting Miami Open. Jannik Sinner continued to show his hard court dominance beating Jiri Lehecka to complete the sunshine double. Sinner has closed the gap some on world #1 Carlos Alcaraz as we head to the clay court season. Aryna Sabalenka also completed her own sunshine double as she is by far the most consistent player on the WTA. She took down Coco Gauff in a competitive final to capture her second Miami Open trophy.

Jimmy drove down to have dinner at Nan Ban Kan, and record a fresh episode of the podcast. Jannik Sinner wins his first Indian Wells crown, which was the only Masters 1000 hard court title missing from his resume. Having only played 2 tournaments so far this year it was nice to see the young Italian play some of the best tennis of the year. Aryna Sabalenka also broke through to win her first IW title after being runner up in 2025 to Andreeva. She played an instant classic vs AO champ Elena Rybakina in the final winning 7-6 in the third. Daniil Medvedev is back playing some of the best tennis of his career and is back in the top ten of the ATP tour. Med played a great match beating Carlos Alcaraz in the SF and almost pushing Sinner to 3 in the final. With 2 titles on the year already it seems like there is more positive things ahead for the Russian. Elena Rybakina has been one of the best players in the world the past 9 months. The AO champ played some amazing tennis to get to the final and was up a set and a break on Sabby before things turned around. In what has to be one of the best matches of the year the two biggest hitters on tour blasted away for 3 high powered sets. Sadly someone had to lose, but something tells us these two will play more important matches down the road. All that plus more on a new episode of the Advantage Connors podcast.
