The food and drink offerings were revamped at BNP Paribas Open a year ago. Here's a few new things to try in 2025.

The first combined ATP and WTA Masters 1000 tournament of 2025 will be next week’s BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells. Two-time Wimbledon champion Carlos Alcaraz and Iga Swiatek will defend their titles from last year.

It turns out 44-year-old Venus Williams will not be playing at the BNP Paribas Open. The tournament in Indian Wells, California, revealed on Sunday that Williams won't play, days after it announced she would be competing there as a wild card.

Last year, while breaking its attendance record, it finally felt like normal again at the annual tennis tournament.

During an appearance in Denmark on Sunday, former world No. 1 Venus Williams denied she would be playing at the upcoming BNP Paribas Open, despite the tournament announcing in a press release Wednesday that the 44-year-old had been given a wild card.
