The 2018 BNP Paribas Open (also known as the Indian Wells Open) was a professional tennis tournament played at Indian Wells, California in March 2018. It is the 45th edition of the men's event and 30th of the women's event, and is classified as an ATP World Tour Masters 1000 event on the 2018 ATP World Tour and a Premier Mandatory event on the 2018 WTA Tour. Both the men's and the women's events took place at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden in Indian Wells, California, United States from March 5 through March 18, 2018, on outdoor hard courts.
For the first time ever, tournament organisers offered a $1,000,000 reward to any player, male or female, who wins both singles and doubles titles in the same year. However, for the 2018 edition, no players remained in contention for the bonus reward prize.
