Taylor Fritz defeated Rafael Nadal in the final, 6–3, 7–6(7–5) to win the men's singles title at the 2022 Indian Wells Masters. It was his first Masters 1000 title and second career title overall. Fritz became the first American to win the title since Andre Agassi in 2001, and ended Nadal's 20-match winning streak, dating back to the 2022 Melbourne Open.
Cameron Norrie was the defending champion,[1] but lost in the quarterfinals to Carlos Alcaraz, who became the youngest Indian Wells semifinalist since Agassi in 1988.[2]
This was the first ATP Tour tournament since the international governing bodies of tennis (WTA, ATP, ITF, Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon, US Open) allowed players from Russia and Belarus to continue to participate in tennis events on Tour and at the majors, but not under the name or flag of Russia or Belarus until further notice, due to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.[3]
Daniil Medvedev and Novak Djokovic were in contention for the world No. 1 singles ranking. Despite his withdrawal from the tournament, Djokovic reclaimed the ranking after Medvedev lost to Gaël Monfils in the third round.[4]
With his third-round win, Nadal became the first player to win 400 Masters matches.[5]
