Djokovic back in the desert, addresses media ahead of starting play at 2026 BNP Paribas Open
INDIAN WELLS, Calif. (KESQ) -- Novak Djokovic is back in the desert, making his 17th appearance at the BNP Paribas Open.
The 24-time grand slam champion is a five-time winner at Indian Wells, tied for the most all time with Roger Federer. Djokovic's last win at this tournament came in 2016.
At 38 years old, with his career is winding down, there are legitimate questions about his future in the sport and whether this could be the last time we see him play at Indian Wells.
