Raducanu, Murray in Indian Wells fray

Former world No 1s Kim Clijsters and Andy Murray were awarded wildcards into the BNP Paribas Open at Indian Wells. Fellow Briton and reigning US Open champion Emma Raducanu has also received a main draw wildcard.

Four-times major winner Clijsters will continue her career comeback after a seven-year hiatus that ended in 2019 at the tournament she has won twice.

Three-times Grand Slam champion Murray will look to improve on his best career finish at the tournament in 2015, when he reached the semi-finals.

Raducanu, 18, became the first qualifier to win a Grand Slam last month when she beat fellow teenager Leylah Fernandez of Canada in straight sets.
