Djokovic recorded his first victory in Indian Wells in five years, and the 400th of his career in tournaments from the 1000 series.

A bigger fight was seen in the second set, in which Vukić immediately broke and took the lead - 3:0. But Đoković reacted quickly, tied three games and equalized - 3:3. After that, the tennis players were safe until the 12th game when Vukić used the second set ball and equalized.
In the third game of the third set, Djokovic missed two break points, but in the fifth game he managed to take his rival's serve, lead 3:2, preserve his advantage and advance to the next round.
