Emma Raducanu, Jack Draper and Cameron Norrie are all in last-16 action on a blockbuster day for the Brits at Indian Wells on March 14.

Here’s all you need to know about the Indian Wells schedule, order of play, and when Raducanu, Draper and Norrie will take to the court…
When is Raducanu v Swiatek?
After her impressive win over 13th seed Beatriz Haddad Maia, Raducanu will have the maximum amount of time to recover before facing Swiatek.
The 2021 US Open champion will play against the current holder of the Flushing Meadows title in the last match on Stadium 1, scheduled to start around 03:00 UK time on Wednesday, March 15.
It will be the second meeting between Raducanu and Swiatek.
They first met on indoor clay in Stuttgart last year when Swiatek won in straight sets.
“I think after Stuttgart, I just know how her shots feel on the racquet because before I haven’t even practised with her,” said Swiatek about facing Raducanu.
“So it helps that way, but on the other hand, it’s great because we are playing on a hard court, and there it was clay, but actually this surface is slower.
“So I think I have to really take care of the tactics anyway, and we’ll see. Honestly, like every day is different. The Stuttgart match was like almost a year ago. So a long time ago.”
Swiatek is bidding to become the first repeat WTA champion at Indian Wells since Martina Navratilova in 1991.
When is Draper v Alcaraz?
It will be back-to-back Brits on the main court at Indian Wells as Draper v Alcaraz will be played immediately before Raducanu faces Swiatek.
The match is scheduled to start at around 01:00 UK time on Wednesday, March 15.
Draper pushed Alcaraz close when they met for the first time in Basel last October and is looking forward to facing the world No. 2 again.
"Carlos is another level up, he's been No. 1 in the world, had an exceptional year last year, so it would be amazing to play him again in another real battle."

Highlights: Draper beats Murray in battle of the Brits at Indian Wells
Alcaraz clocked his 100th win to reach the fourth round and has a chance of getting back to world No. 1 if he wins the title in Indian Wells.
Looking ahead to his clash with Draper, he said: “I'm ready. I love playing those kind of matches.
"Jack's playing really well. I played against him just once in Basel, not a long time ago. It was really tough. I know that I have to put my best level, I have to show my 100 per cent to [beat] a great opponent like Jack.
“I think it's going to be a really beautiful match to watch for the crowd and obviously I'm going to enjoy the match."
When is Norrie v Rublev?
Norrie, who won his biggest title at Indian Wells in 2021, will be on court earlier in the day than Raducanu and Draper.
The British No. 1 is scheduled to play second on Stadium 3 after Maria Sakkari v Karolina Pliskova.
Play starts at 18:00 UK time so Norrie could face Rublev at around 20:00 UK time.
