INDIAN WELLS, United States, March 10, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - Unseeded Katerina Siniakova ended Mirra Andreeva's Indian Wells title defense on Monday, rallying for a 4-6, 7-6 (7/5) 6-3 victory over the eighth-ranked Russian. Siniakova will face Elina Svitolina for a place in the quarter-finals after the ninth-seeded Ukrainian beat American Ashlyn Krueger 6-4, 6-2. There was no drama for world number two Iga Swiatek, who defeated Greece's Maria Sakkari 6-3, 6-2. Poland's Swiatek beat Sakkari in the final to claim both of her Indian Wells titles, in 2022, and 2024, but Sakkari had won their most recent encounter in the quarter-finals of the Qatar Open last month. Australian Open champion Elena Rybakina, who lifted the Indian wells Trophy in 2023, faces Ukraine's Marta Kostyuk in the final match of the night.
