Novak Djokovic: I’m looking forward to playing Indian Wells again
“Greetings to all tennis fans from the BNP Paribas Open, Indian Wells, California. It is 2024 and the last time I played this tournament was in 2019.
“It’s been five long years, too long without being part of the Tennis Paradise tournament,” said the Belgrade native. “One of the best tournaments in the world without a doubt, probably the favorite Masters 1000 of many players, including myself.
I can’t wait to get back and play again in front of some of the best fans we have on Tour. I think back to 2008, the first time I won the title in Indian Wells: one of the most important achievements of my career at that time.
I remember I played against Fish in the finals. I was lucky to win the tournament four more times playing some epic matches in the final against Federer and Nadal. “I really want to come back,” concluded Novak Djokovic.
