At her first BNP Paribas Open All-Access Hour, Garbiñe Muguruza answered the questions posed with her signature dry wit.

Teen sensation Belinda Bencic made her Indian Wells All-Access Hour debut, too, citing “chocolate in the water” as the secret to Swiss success.
Kvitova flashed her pearly whites for an Indian Wells photo op.
Reigning Australian Open champion Angelique Kerber grabbed the mic for a video interview…
…but the German appeared far more comfortable with a tennis ball in hand.
