BNP Paribas Open, Indian Wells, CA, 2024 - WTA 1000

Okay we are going 3 sets, Elina won the 2nd set 64 , Emma did have a break, though could not hold it,Elina likes these slower conditions, Emma has to go back to how she was playing in the opening set and believe in her tennis

Growing pains for the youngster. I've seen this a bit w/ her. She does have one thing going for her though: a really good 3-set record

Well done Emma you defeated one of the toughest competitors in the WTA Elina Svitolina 61 46 63
This time last year your ranking #128
Today it is a live ranking of #23
Your into the R16 for the first time!

That the last match at the bottom is the one I will want to watch more than the others. Emma has been in pressing me all year and I am excited that she me be a new contender in the big events. I believe she is from New York.

Correct Emma is from NYC, she has a good all round game, she just needs to believe and have faith in her game, results will come, she defeated Svitolina one of the toughest competitors on the WTA tour, it will be a good test for Emma against Saba, who is not playing her best tennis at present.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Oh well Potapova ends Paolini's winning streak and qualifies for the QFs, she was needing a good result, her play of late has been poor,
Potapova d Paolini 75 06 63.

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Marta Kostyuk has made her first WTA1000 QF defeating Pavs 64 61 ( Marta made the QF at the AO this year)
Marta has a good chance in her QF match against Potapova on Thursday

Potapova d Paolini 75 06 63.

I watched the match and Paolini looked tired and she has everything to be happy about.Her tennis is on the way up and her star is rising,and she is that player one cannot help cheering for.

Wozniacki & Kerber out there! I joked about the revival culture we're in! What's next; overlap w/ the Srs. so Navratilova & Evert can make it in?

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

In the vintage battle of the 'Mums" Caroline Wozniacki d Angie Kerber 64 62 to reach the QFs
First WTA1000 QF for Caroline, since 2019, her 6th at IW
Well done Caroline!

Well done Caro played a great match!

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Woznicacki 1 win away from returning to the Top 100 would be impressive having played just 6 tournaments
Carolines next match is probably against Swiatek

 

[MargaretMcAleer]

Last match of the night
Swiatek v Putintseva
Iga having no trouble winning 61 in the 1st set
Iga as not lost a game since going 0-40 down 1-1 in the opening set
It's now 3-0 2nd set
Iga Swaitek advances to her 3rd QF at IW, beating Putintseva 61 62.
Faces Wozniacki next.
