The legendary Andy Murray had a rough start to the season as he lost to Sebastian Korda in the first round of the Adelaide International 1. In the Australian Open, Murray lost to Roberto Bautista Agut in the third round. The British star had a great run in the Qatar Open as he finished runner-up. He will be playing his first match since the Qatar Open final where he lost to Daniil Medvedev.

Last year in Indian Wells, Murray was ousted by Alexander Bublik in the round of 64. Murray will hope to build on his good showing at the Qatar Open and have a deep run this time in Indian Wells.
