Juan Martin del Potro is taking his comeback tour to the west coast.

The 2009 US Open champion, American Taylor Fritz and Australian Open quarterfinalist Zhang Shuai were awarded wild cards into the main draw of the BNP Paribas Open, set for March 7-20, at the Indian Wells Tennis Garden.

Watch: Del Potro Spread the Love in Delray Beach

Del Potro, the 2013 Indian Wells runner-up, returned to action this week in Delray Beach after wrist surgeries sidelined him for much of the last two seasons. Del Potro defeated Denis Kudla in his comeback match.  The former world No. 4 will be making his sixth appearance in Indian Wells.

Southern California native Taylor Fritz, who received a wild card into the qualifying draw at last year’s BNP Paribas Open, earns a main draw berth in 2016. The 18-year-old American won the US Open junior title last fall and captured two Challenger titles. He has made great strides in the 2016 season including winning another Challenger event and advancing through qualifying at the Australian Open before falling in five sets to compatriot Jack Sock. Last week, Fritz reached the Memphis final becoming the youngest American since Michael Chang in 1989 at the age of 17 to reach the final of an ATP World Tour event.

Zhang Shuai enters the main draw following a quarterfinal showing at the 2016 Australian Open, where she posted wins against four top 50 ranked opponents, including 2015 Indian Wells champion Simona Halep. Zhang currently sits at No. 67 in the world.
