Men’s doubles

Australian No.1 Jordan Thompson skyrocketed into the top five following a successful Indian Wells campaign.

The 30-year-old paired with his title-winning partner from the 2024 Madrid Masters, Sebastian Korda, to reach his first doubles final since the US Open last September.

Thompson’s path to the Indian Wells final included defeating fellow compatriot John-Patrick Smith in the semifinals, who enjoyed a rise of 19 places to world No.66 – his largest jump within a week in four years.

Part of an main-draw alternate pairing with Brazilian Fernando Romboli, the 36-year-old reached the semifinals at Indian Wells for the first time.

Adam Walton’s maiden Indian Wells appearance bumped him up seven places to world No.89 in the latest ATP rankings.

A member of Australia’s largest Indian Wells contingent since the introduction of the women’s tournament in 1989, Walton was Australia’s best-performing qualifier. The 25-year-old reached the second round after prevailing against Italian Giulio Zeppieri 7-5 6-1 in his main-draw debut.

James McCabe continues to improve on his career-best ranking, advancing to the round of 16 of a Dominican Republic Challenger event. The New South Welshman improved his ranking for an eighth consecutive week as he climbed to world No.184.
