Novak Djokovic and Nick Kyrgios are well-positioned to meet in the second round of the 2025 BNP Paribas Open at Indian Wells.

Kyrgios fired two service winners for 3-0 and drew Djokovic's mistake in the seventh point for 5-2. Novak missed a routine forehand in the eighth point and offered his rival four match points. Nick converted the second with a service winner, beating Novak for the second time within a couple of weeks.

Kyrgios and Djokovic have had an up-and-down relationship in recent years, but appear to be on good terms, playing doubles together in December
