Overview
- Ground Pass photos show Francisco Roig working with Giovanni Mpetshi Perricard at Indian Wells, with the event reported as their first tournament together.
- Mpetshi Perricard enters unseeded and opens against Kamil Majchrzak, with a potential second-round meeting against No. 3 seed Novak Djokovic.
- The 22-year-old Frenchman is seeking to rebound after a breakout 2024 that peaked at No. 29, followed by a 19–26 record in 2025 and a 5–7 start in 2026.
- Emma Raducanu split with Roig in January after the Australian Open and has reunited on a temporary basis with former coach Mark Petchey for Indian Wells, following a brief stint with Alexis Canter on site.
- Roig’s quick return draws notice given his long tenure alongside Rafael Nadal and a prior role with Matteo Berrettini.
