Indian Wells Open 2026 Preview for Melanin March & WTA's tough prediction

February is over but we thank God for Melanin March and welcome in Indian Wells! Before that though, we shout out Austin doubles champion and singles runner-up Taylor Townsend, Acapulco finalist Frances Tiafoe and Mérida semi-finalist Jasmine Paolini. In the Californian desert, Coco Gauff, Paolini, Victoria Mboko, Madison Keys and Naomi Osaka are among the 32 seeds in the women's draw. While Ben Shelton, Félix Auger-Aliassime, Tiafoe and Arthur Fils are all seeded in the men’s event. We take a look at the draws and give our predictions. There’s also some off-script chat about tennis podcasts.
