Eisenhower Cup 2025: Iga Swiatek, Madison Keys, Alex de Minaur confirm participation for exhibition event

Iga Swiatek leads the playing field at the Eisenhower Cup 2025.

The Eisenhower Cup, an entertaining Indian Wells tradition, serves as a thrilling exhibition event on the eve of the BNP Paribas Open. For the past three years, it has featured a mixed doubles format, offering fast-paced matches in the vibrant setting of Stadium 2 under the lights.

The exhibition event is set to take place on March 4, at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden. The event features a fast-paced, energetic Tie Break Tens format consisting of first to ten-point tie break matches in an eight-team single elimination draw, with a total of seven matches taking place across the night.

Each year, the marquee event brings top-tier players to the Indian Wells Tennis Garden. This mixed doubles event serves as a stage for players to showcase their skills and build dynamic partnerships on the international circuit.

The 2025 Eisenhower Cup will witness an exciting showdown between eight mixed doubles pairings, featuring the best men’s and women’s singles players from the current era. World No. #1 Aryna Sabalenka was expected to feature in the event with US Open finalist Taylor Fritz, but the Belarusian has now been replaced by 2023 Indian Wells winner Elena Rybakina.

Five-time Grand Slam and two-time BNP Paribas Open champion Iga Swiatek will lead the pack, teaming up with fellow Polish and World No. #20 Hubert Hurkacz. 2025 Australian Open champion Madison Keys too will be back in action, playing alongside World No. #9 Tommy Paul.

The all-American partnership of Emma Navarro and Ben Shelton won the 2024 Eisenhower Cup and will be eager to defend their title. With a huge prize pool of $200,000, high-octane action and drama is anticipated. On that note, let’s take a look at all eight teams set to compete at the Eisenhower Cup 2025.
