Venus Williams and Petra Kvitova Among Wildcards for Indian Wells Tournament

Posted : 20 February 2025

Seven-time Grand Slam champion Venus Williams and two-time Wimbledon winner Petra Kvitova are among the four players granted wildcards for the upcoming ATP and WTA Indian Wells tournament. The prestigious event, scheduled for March 5-16, will also welcome teenage ATP prospects Joao Fonseca and Learner Tien, who will make their main draw debuts.

 

Williams, a former world No. 1, is set to compete at Indian Wells for the 10th time in her career. The 44-year-old American has been absent from the WTA circuit since last March when she last played in Miami.

 

Meanwhile, Kvitova returns to competition after a 15-month maternity break, having given birth to her first child, Petr, last July. The 34-year-old Czech star will be making her 13th appearance in the California tournament.

 

Brazil's Fonseca, 18, made history last week by winning his first ATP title at the Argentina Open, becoming the youngest Brazilian to do so in the Open era.

 

 Tien, a 19-year-old American, also made headlines at the Australian Open last month by reaching the fourth round, the youngest player to advance that far in Melbourne since Rafael Nadal in 2005.
