Novak Djokovic vs Aleksandar Kovacevic live streaming, TV channel, where & how to watch: Indian Wells Open 2026
Novak Djokovic will play a rare morning session in his third-round clash.
Five-time champion Novak Djokovic will continue his campaign at the Indian Wells Open 2026 with a third-round clash against American Aleksandar Kovacevic. The Serbian star arrives at this stage after a gritty comeback victory over Kamil Majchrzak, where he recovered from a set down to win 4-6, 6-1, 6-2 and secure his place in the next round.
Djokovic initially struggled to find rhythm in windy conditions during his opening match, but his trademark resilience helped him regain control. Once he settled into the contest, the world No. 3 began dictating rallies from the baseline and broke his opponent multiple times to complete the comeback.
Kovacevic, meanwhile, has been one of the surprise performers of the tournament so far. The American produced an impressive upset over Hubert Hurkacz in the opening round before defeating Corentin Moutet to reach the third round, marking one of his best runs of the season.
The matchup sets up an interesting battle between experience and momentum. While Djokovic brings a wealth of big match experience and an exceptional record at Indian Wells, Kovacevic will look to build on his recent confidence and attempt another major upset against the Serbian legend.
