Organizers of the first Masters 1000 tournament of the season in Indian Wells announced today that first wild-cards go to former world number 4 Juan Martin Del Potro and young American rising star Taylor Fritz. This was much expected, with Delpo playing his comeback tournament in Delray Beach, where he won first round match against Kudla easily.

This will be 6th trip to the Indian Wells for the Argentinean, who played there for the first time 9 years ago. Since then, he has always reached at least quarter-finals stage, losing 3 times to Nadal and once to Federer. Last time Juan Martin participated in Indian Wells was in 2013, when he lost a close final against Rafael Nadal after winning the first set.

There was no doubt Taylor Fritz would grab a wild-card too, after his amazing run since winning junior US Open last September. Taylor made huge jump in the rankings, almost making Top 100 after reaching his first ATP final 4 days ago in Memphis, where he lost to Kei Nishikori.

It will be the 5th ATP tournament in career for the youngster born in 1997, and he will be the third player of his generation with Masters 1000 match, after Alexander Zverev and Andrey Rublev. ALSO READ: 2016 ITA Division I National Men´s Team Indoor Championship: All-star team voted by head coaches
