Linda Nosková will open against Elena Rybakina on 8 November, while Karolína Muchová faces Aryna Sabalenka on 9 November. The new WTA schedule puts both matches at noon in Indian Wells: 21:00 in Budapest and Prague.

Two Czech players in separate groups

The draw places Nosková with Rybakina, Coco Gauff and Jessica Pegula. Muchová’s group includes Sabalenka, Mirra Andreeva and Elina Svitolina. The top two in each group advance to the semifinals.

At the 8–15 November tournament, neither Czech opener depends on an earlier match finishing: each is the first singles match on its respective day.
