I could hardly believe my luck as I pranced through the front gates of the Indian Wells Tennis Garden during the championship weekend of the 2026 BNP Paribas Open. I’m a tennis fanatic who’s practically glued to the television during the summer to watch every point of Roland-Garros, Wimbledon, and the U.S. Open. (Moira Rose’s favorite season is awards, and mine is the Grand Slams.) The Tennis Channel, however, was as close as I’d ever gotten to the greats—until this spring.
