Fritz and Rybakina Repeat at Indian Wells' Eisenhower Cup

The big-money exhibition underscores the tournament's strategy to elevate mixed doubles as a fast-paced draw for fans.

Overview

  • Elena Rybakina and Taylor Fritz defeated Amanda Anisimova and Learner Tien 20-7 to retain the Tie Break Tens mixed-doubles title.
  • Learner Tien stepped in for Andrey Rublev, who was unable to arrive from Dubai due to travel restrictions.
  • Champions split a $200,000 prize funded by the BNP Paribas Open, with ticket revenue directed to local charities.
  • Roughly 7,100 fans filled Stadium 2 for the exhibition, which uses a first-to-ten, win-by-two format to keep matches short.
  • Indian Wells follows the exhibition with an official mixed-doubles event starting March 10 that will offer a $1 million prize pool.
