Federer Aims for 28Th Atp Masters 1000 Title, Thiem Seeks First BNP PARIBAS OPEN: 17 MARCH MEDIA NOTES Indian Wells Tennis Garden | Indian Wells, CA, USA | 7-17 March 2019 Draw: S-96, D-32 | Prize Money: $8,359,455 | Surface: Outdoor Hard ATP Tour Tournament Media ATPTour.com BNPParibasOpen.com Edward La Cava: [email protected] (ATP PR) Twitter: @ATP_Tour @BNPParibasOpen Matt Van Tuinen: [email protected] (Press Officer) Facebook: @ATPTour @BNPParibasOpen TV & Radio: TennisTV.com FEDERER AIMS FOR 28TH ATP MASTERS 1000 TITLE, THIEM SEEKS FIRST • Five-time Indian Wells champion Roger Federer and first-time Indian Wells finalist Dominic Thiem face off for the first ATP Masters 1000 title of the 2019 season in the BNP Paribas Open singles final on Sunday. Federer and Thiem have evenly split their four previous meetings, but Federer has won both of their clashes on hard courts without dropping a set, including their most recent encounter during the round-robin portion of last year’s Nitto ATP Finals. • No. 4 seed Federer moved into his ninth Indian Wells final after longtime rival Rafael Nadal had to withdraw prior to their semi-final tilt due to severe right knee pain. Federer still added four match victories this fortnight to his commanding win-loss record at Indian Wells, which now stands at 66-12. The Swiss maestro dropped serve only once during his run to the final, and he leads the entire field in percentage of break points saved, fending off 15 of the 16 break points he faced. Having completed his quest to obtain his 100th career singles title two weeks ago in Dubai, Federer now aims for his 28th ATP Masters 1000 title, which would also make him the first player to earn two singles titles in 2019. • Meanwhile, No. 7 seed Thiem is seeking a first-ever ATP Masters 1000 title, having two finalist showings at Madrid in the last two seasons as his best prior results at this level. Like Federer, Thiem has been excellent at protecting his serve throughout this event, being broken just twice out of his 46 service games. The Austrian did not lose serve during his semi-final victory over 2016 Indian Wells finalist Milos Raonic, and faced only a single break point in that match (in the final game). Thiem’s run kickstarts his year after coming into Indian Wells with a 3-4 win-loss record on the season.

Both will aim to use home advantage to have a good run here this year – Monfils will look for a repeat of his 2008 performance when he reached the semifinals, while Pouille will hope to emulate the form he displayed in reaching the last 4 at the Australian Open in January to impress the home fans in Paris. • Monte Carlo champion Fabio Fognini takes on fellow Italian Andreas Seppi in the first match on Court Simonne Mathieu today. It will be the 8th all-Italian meeting at Roland Garros in the Open Era and the 16th all-Italian clash at the Grand Slams in the Open Era. The pair are tied at 4 wins apiece in their previous Tour-level match-ups, but Seppi has not beaten his compatriot and Davis Cup teammate since 2010 and will have to put in an inspired performance if he is to defeat to the No.
