INDIAN WELLS, United States, March 11, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - World number one Aryna Sabalenka powered into the Indian Wells quarter-finals on Tuesday, beating former champion Naomi Osaka 6-2, 6-4 in a battle of Grand Slam winners. It was another straightforward, straight-sets victory for Sabalenka, who fired 31 winners with eight aces. "I think she was a little confused in the key moments, and I'm happy to see that," Sabalenka said. Sabalenka wrapped up the first set with two breaks of serve before Osaka began to find her rhythm. Gibson came into 2026 with just two WTA main-draw wins and had to save two match points in a qualifying victory just to give herself a chance to bag a few more at Indian Wells.
