The BNP Paribas Open Indian Wells 2021 final results are out, know the prize money given to all the winners.. Cameron Norrie and Paula Badosa achieved great success
As the Indian Wells Masters, also known as the BNP Paribas Open came to an end on October 18th 2021, Britain’s Cameron Norrie clinched the men’s singles title against Georgia’s Nikoloz Basilashvili. Norrie defeated Nikoloz 3-6, 6-4, 6-1 and earned the reputation of being the tournament’s first champion to be ranked outside of the Top 25 since 2010.
Why were many of the big names missing in this tournament? Well some of them decided to skip it after the championship’s delay due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Some other stars were forced to exit the tournament because of certain upsets as well. This was enough for the competition to pave the way for players like Norrie and Badosa, who are not even in the list of the Top 25.
