Indian Wells: Sabalenka Triumphs Over Mboko, Swiatek Falls, Zverev Joins Big Four Aryna Sabalenka secured her place in the Indian Wells quarter-finals with a hard-fought victory over 19-year-old Canadian talent Victoria Mboko, while Iga Swiatek suffered a three-set defeat to Elina Svitolina. Sabalenka, a two-time runner-up at the tournament, praised Mboko’s courage and hailed her as a “future Grand Slam champion,” acknowledging the young player’s aggressive style and determination. The Belarusian’s win came after a tense first set, where Mboko pushed her to a tie-break, which Sabalenka claimed 7-6 (7-0) before sealing the second set with a decisive break in the fifth game, winning 6-4. Sabalenka’s path to the semi-finals continues as she faces 14th seed Linda Noskova, who advanced after a hard-fought victory over Australian qualifier Talia Gibson. Gibson, ranked 112th in the world, had become the first qualifier in 11 years to reach the quarter-finals by defeating seventh seed Jasmine Paolini. Noskova’s win over Gibson, which ended the qualifier’s run, sets up a clash between the Czech and the Belarusian in the next round. Swiatek, the 2022 and 2024 Indian Wells champion, was ousted by Ukraine’s Elina Svitolina in three sets. Svitolina, the ninth seed, capitalized on a series of double faults to dominate the first set, winning it in 38 minutes. Swiatek fought back to force a decider but could not match Svitolina’s consistency in the third set, falling 6-2 4-6 6-4. Svitolina’s victory marks her first semi-final appearance in seven years and sets her up to face Australian Open champion Elena Rybakina, who advanced with a 6-1 7-6 (7-4) win over Jessica Pegula.#aryna_sabalenka #alexander_zverev #iga_swiatek #elina_svitolina #victoria_mboko
Aryna Sabalenka advances to the semifinals of the Indian Wells Open after defeating Victoria Mboko, while Elina Svitolina ousts Iga Swiatek in a hard-fought quarterfinal. Sabalenka, the world’s top-ranked women’s player, overcame Mboko in a three-set match, winning 7-6 (0), 6-4. The 10th-seeded Canadian, who had previously defeated Sabalenka in the fourth round of the Australian Open, put up a strong challenge, but the Belarusian star maintained her composure to secure her place in the semifinals. Sabalenka, who has not dropped a set in the tournament, credited her focus during critical moments as key to her victory. She will face Linda Noskova of Czechia in the semifinals, a 14th seed who defeated unseeded Australian Talia Gibson in three sets. Meanwhile, Svitolina, the ninth-seeded Ukrainian, ended Swiatek’s run in the tournament with a 6-2, 4-6, 6-4 victory. The third set saw Svitolina break to take a 5-4 lead and hold serve for the win. She will next face Elena Rybakina, who defeated American Jessica Pegula in two sets. In the men’s draw, Jannik Sinner, Alexander Zverev, and Daniil Medvedev advanced to the semifinals. Medvedev’s path included a controversial ruling in his match against Jack Draper. The defending champion lost a disputed point in the third set, which officials overturned in favor of Medvedev. Draper argued that the point should not have been awarded, as the ruling appeared to favor Medvedev despite the players’ subsequent play. Medvedev, who accepted the decision, will face either Carlos Alcaraz or Cameron Norrie in the semifinals. Sinner and Zverev will meet in the other men’s semifinal, with Sinner serving 10 aces in his straight-sets victory over Learner Tien. Zverev, meanwhile, dominated with 72% of his first serves in play during his win over Arthur Fils.#jannik_sinner #aryna_sabalenka #iga_swiatek #elina_svitolina #victoria_mboko

Talia Gibson's remarkable run at Indian Wells shows no signs of slowing down, as the world No. 112 has pulled off the biggest upset of the tournament to date. Squaring off against a top-10 player for the first time in her career, the Australian qualifier continued her stunning desert form, defeating No. 7 seed Jasmine Paolini 7-5, 2-6, 6-1, sealing the victory with a return winner before raising her hands skyward in sheer disbelief. Gibson is now poised to surge up the rankings, breaking into the world's top 70. Her previous career-high tennis ranking stood at No. 105, and she had never previously broken into the top 100. The 21-year-old has also secured herself $193,000 in prize money already at Indian Wells. Currently riding a six-match winning streak after battling through qualifying, the Australian had never previously won a main draw match at the WTA 1000 level. Meanwhile, the Indian Wells champion destroyed her racket despite punishment in a wild outburst. Gibson has been utterly dominant in Indian Wells, eliminating top-20 opponents Ekaterina Alexandrova and Elina Svitolina to advance to the round of 16. She surpassed even those achievements by claiming her first top-10 victory over Paolini on Tuesday, before addressing the crowd: "Honestly, just completely speechless. This is becoming even more of a fairytale for me every single day. I want to say thank you so much to everyone who came out to watch. It was a great atmosphere, so thank you." The tournament has been a landmark event for Gibson, marking a series of unprecedented achievements. She had yet to defeat a top-50 opponent before Indian Wells, making her debut in a WTA 1000 main draw all the more remarkable. Gibson pocketed $193,000 thanks to her win over Paolini.#indian_wells #talia_gibson #wta_1000 #elina_svitolina #jasmine_paolini
