Mar del Plata’s Comesaña is set to kick off his participation against American Sebastian Korda in a match scheduled not before 11 PM (Argentina time). The current world number 82 will be looking to regain his top form following a rocky start to the season, with a record of seven losses and four wins.
The Argentine has also faced challenges during his recent South American tour, where he was eliminated in the first round of both the Argentina Open and the Rio Open. In the Chile Open, he reached the second round but was unable to advance further. Korda, on the other hand, ranked 37th in the world, comes in with strong momentum after winning the Delray Beach Open this year and finishing as a finalist at the Challenger 100 in San Diego.
In the women’s draw, Sierra, positioned at number 65, stands as the only Argentine in the main draw. She will face off against American Peyton Stearns, currently ranked 48th in the world. This match will take place not before 12:30 AM on Friday (Argentina time) in Stadium 1. Stearns arrives following a significant win at the WTA 250 in Austin, marking her second career title, making Sierra’s debut in the Californian desert a tough challenge right from the start.
The Indian Wells Masters is among the most prestigious tournaments after the Grand Slams, falling under the Masters 1000 category. Notably, Argentine Juan Martín del Potro is a recent champion, having lifted the trophy in 2018.
