We're midway through the return to Tennis Paradise and action at Indian Wells has reached a fever pitch. 

Some compelling stories have emerged, including the continued journey to form of Andy Murray, who's fight on court alongside improved ground strokes and movement are proving he's still got the goods, playing his best match in R3 in a lost to Zverev.

On the ladies side, it's Leylah Fernandez once again making waves, this time in Indian Wells. Like Andy, Leylah fights for every point, and has improved so much even since the guys interview back in April. It's difficult not to contrast her performance against the woman who defeated her in the U.S. Open final last month, Emma Raducanu, who went out in her first round match.

From Tommy Paul, Aslan Karatsev and the 'BDE' (you'll have to listen) of Daniil Medvedev, who's the favourite on the Men's side.

For the ladies, with Aldwin's pick (Mugu) out early, could his 2nd favourite Jelena Ostapenko (kidding... she's not his fave) continue her strong play to her first premier 1,000 title? What about former champion Victoria Azarenka, or former finalist Angie Kerber. 

It's getting hot (and juicy) in Tennis Paradise.
