Although the tournament is still in its relative infancy, the first three days of action have helped prove why the BNP Paribas Open is one of the premier non-Grand Slams in all of tennis.

With a field more befitting Melbourne or London than southern California, Indian Wells has already been host to its fair share of excitement. Day 3 saw fifth-seeded Angelique Kerber downed on the women's side, while Rafael Nadal and Andy Murray both needed thrilling third-set victories to advance.

Even more stars litter the field on Sunday, leaving fans again checking the scoreboard to see if their favorite has been ousted.

There is something to having an unpredictable tournament that makes it captivating—right until the point the world's best are eliminated. Tournament organizers are likely happy with the relative unpredictability thus far but wouldn't want it to stretch much further.

Casual fans can be talked into a Wimbledon final with two players they've barely heard of. Good luck doing the same for a non-Grand Slam. It's always easy to forget that the casual fan is where even these tournaments make their money. Big names sell tickets, drive television ratings and—OK, hardcore fans love the big names just as much.

Don't lie.

There's nothing better than the history of Federer-Nadal or the sheer competitiveness of Djokovic-Murray—or frankly any matching of the world's most famous handful. With that in mind, let's check in on the Day 4 action and highlight some of the best matches.
