Indian Wells 2023 latest men's singles odds: Daniil Medvedev firm favorite to win, Stefanos Tsitsipas and Carlos Alcaraz biggest challengers

Daniil Medvedev has emerged as the odds-on favorite to clinch his fourth title in a row and his maiden Indian Wells title, as per the latest set of odds released this week. World No. 1 Novak Djokovic's withdrawal has changed the landscape in the men's singles draw, with Carlos Alcaraz and Stefanos Tsitsipas, who are both contenders for the world No. 1 ranking, emerging as the biggest challengers to Medvedev's bid.

Medvedev is currently the most in-form player on the ATP tour, winning three back-to-back titles in Rotterdam, Doha, and Dubai, respectively. The World No. 6 even got the better of Djokovic in the semifinals in Dubai last week. Despite being seeded 5th seed at Indian Wells, Medvedev is the favorite to win the tournament with odds of 2.45.

Top seed and current World No. 2 Alcaraz has odds of 8.00 to win at Indian Wells, but World No. 3 Stefanos Tsitsipas is a bigger favorite ahead of Alcaraz, with odds of 6.50.

11th seed Jannik Sinner follows the trio of Daniil Medvedev, Stefanos Tsitsipas, and Carlos Alcaraz with odds of 11.00 to win his maiden Masters 1000 event at Indian Wells 2023. American No. 1 and 4th seed Taylor Fritz is the fifth odds-on favorite to defend his Indian Wells Masters title with odds of 11.00.

World No. 10 Felix Auger-Aliassime, rising star Holger Rune, and Dubai finalist Andrey Rublev are among the other top contenders for the big event in the Californian desert over the next two weeks.

Daniil Medvedev could face Alexander Zverev in Round of 16 as Indian Wells 2023 ATP draw is revealed

Daniil Medvedev enters Indian Wells on the back of three consecutive titles, including Dubai.

Daniil Medvedev faces a challenging task en route to his fourth title of the season and first at Indian Wells. The fifth seed faces either John Isner or Brandon Nakashima in the second round before a probable Round of 32 clash against Botic van de Zandschulp. However, one match that is already witnessing great anticipation is Medvedev's potential Round of 16 clash with 12th seed Alexander Zverev.

The former World No. 1 has been placed in the same quarter of the draw as third seed Casper Ruud. In other potential quarterfinals, Alcaraz could face Auger-Aliassime, while Fritz is expected to go up against Rune. Rublev and Tsitsipas are also potential quarterfinal opponents.

Meanwhile, Daniil Medvedev will also have a point to prove at Indian Wells, having never gone past the Round of 16 in five attempts so far.
