Nine Americans Among Recipients Into The Main Draws, Including Top Finishers in the

Three American men received wild cards into the main draw including Reilly Opelka, Donald Young and Jared Donaldson.

The second wild card recipient from the Series will be determined this weekend based on the results of the Indian Wells event. The 18 year-old Canadian No. 1 Bianca Andreescu – currently ranked No. 71 – was awarded the final main draw wild card on the women’s side.
