Days of great excitement are approaching in the tennis world with the dispute of Indian Wells 2025, the first ATP Masters 1000 tournament of the year. In this event, there are several players who are not among the seeded ones but possess everything needed to challenge the favorites. Let's take a look at who the most dangerous ones are, now that their positions in the draw are known.

Being a seeded player not only guarantees a first match without facing one of the best, but it also exempts from a potentially lethal first round. However, starting against a player who already has momentum and confidence from winning in the first round can be risky. Especially considering the high level of many players who didn't make it to Indian Wells 2025 among the top 32 but have the potential to exceed what their ranking might suggest.

One of them is Jaume Munar. At 27 years old, the Spaniard is enjoying a great moment in his career, showcasing a more aggressive and consistent style of play. Having already reached the semifinals in two tournaments and being close to the top 50, a barrier he has yet to break, Munar is determined to achieve this goal. Although starting against Nishikori won't be easy, the conditions of the Californian tournament could enhance his game. Furthermore, his potential next opponent, Humbert, doesn't usually perform well in tournaments like this. Dreaming further, even Rune, a potential rival in the round of 16, is not currently instilling much confidence.

The immense potential that Jakub Mensik possesses cannot be overlooked, making him one of the most promising young players in the world. His opening match against Etcheverry will be challenging, but if he overcomes it, Mensik's confidence will be boosted. Players like Khachanov and even Shelton seem less worrying for the Czech, as long as he can showcase his best game.

The presence of Joao Fonseca in the draw cannot be ignored. Expectations are high for this young talent to take another qualitative leap in his already remarkable career, and the Californian event provides a great opportunity for him to do so. Although Fearnley is in good form and a strong player, it is anticipated that the Brazilian will assert his authority and potentially face Draper in the second round, a player who continues to alternate between brilliant performances and physical setbacks.

Another Spanish player with reasons to be optimistic about his performance in this event is Alejandro Davidovich. The Malaga native has been delivering spectacular performances since the beginning of the season, arriving with momentum and confidence after his good showings in Delray Beach and Acapulco. He has a favorable first-round matchup against McDonald. Then, facing Cerúndolo seems promising, considering the Argentine has been competing on clay for a month, which might pose challenges adapting to the conditions of play in California. Djokovic could potentially be his opponent in the third round.

Exploiting a power vacuum is the ultimate aspiration and notable hope for Nuno Borges. The Portuguese player finds himself in a sector where the seeded players are not in their best form, such as Dimitrov and Korda, while players like Struff, Monfils, and Rinderknech also seem to be struggling. Great excitement awaits in Indian Wells 2025 where some seeded players will face challenges to establish their dominance.
