On the men’s side, teenage sensations Joao Fonseca and Learner Tien will look to continue making their mark at the first ATP Masters 1000 event of the season.
Fonseca, 18, recently captured his first ATP title in Buenos Aires—a run that vaulted the Brazilian into the Top 70. Fonseca has appeared at one 1000-level tournament before, winning his debut in Madrid last April over Alex Michelsen.
Tien, 19, valiantly ousted Daniil Medvedev in the second round of a late-night Australian Open thriller on his way to the round of 16. The current world No. 80 has never contested the main draw at a Masters 1000 tournament, having fallen in qualifying at 2023 Indian Wells and Miami.
