WTA Indian Wells 2025

[flyingboris]

Big upset in doubles #2 seed Dabrowski/Routliffe out in straight set.

To Kalinskaya/McNally. Good news, Anna is not going to be distracted by singles matches. Or by Jannik, if that's even still a thing.

Hasn't dropped more than 4 games in those 8 matches. A total of 25 games dropped across 8 matches.

In Gauff's 2R against Uchijama she dropped 16 games alone and that was one match!

 

[spystud]

First to the youngster at 3.

To Kalinskaya/McNally. Good news, Anna is not going to be distracted by singles matches. Or by Jannik, if that's even still a thing.

Not overly surprised, they got bounced in their first match in Dubai losing to Putintseva/Noskova.
And they also got crushed winning just 3 games in their first match in Doha albeit to Shnaider/Andreeva the Olympic silver medallists.

Sorana still struggling from last night.

Spoiler

 

[flyingboris]

Sorana still struggling from last night.

Understandable. That backhand half volley dig into a freaking lob from that video you posted had no business going in.

 

[flyingboris]

Mirra looks so calm cool and collected. What a difference a year makes! Meanwhile Clara is kind of having a meltdown.

 

[flyingboris]

Clara not loving this match..

 

[spystud]

That was a quick whoopin'.

 

[flyingboris]

Mirra wins, bageling Clara in the process. 6-3 6-0.

 

[spystud]

Damn, that is a dirty, dirty quarter.

 

[VilasFan]

Solid win for Mirra. I would like to see what Tauson could do if she improved her fitness and was 100% healthy.

 

[flyingboris]

Mirra looking about as excited after her win as Botic VdZ after beating Novak.

 

[flyingboris]

Mirra said something like "I was happy to win in these conditions. The court is.. pretty interesting shall we say".

 

[tennis4me]

Pegula was also not a fan of the court surface. The ball fuzzed up and the points are longer she said during her post-match interview. That's the Plexipave to Laykold change.

 

[GoKenin]

Nothing worse than fuzzy balls

 

[Airspun]

So happy svitolina beat Collins today. Ukraine > USA

 

[spystud]

3-all in Qinwen v. Lulu now.

 

[spystud]

First to QZ.

 

[spystud]

And that’s a wrap, she’s safely through.

 

[dxc]

Mirra is just too good right now. A bad match up for Tauson. Mirra is faster, gets a lot of balls back, less unforced errors, but still has a lot of power. Slower conditions here also favours her.

8 matches in a row in the desert, 5 had a bagel, 2 more had a breadstick.

Lets see what happens against Muchova in the 4th round. If Muchova plays well, that could be a fight. Muchova is a royal pain for the entire tour when her game clicks.

 

[tennis24x7]

Penko (#26) out 6-4,6-4. Xinyu with 7 aces!

Interesting handshake exchange at the net. It appeared that Penko's hand "got stuck" to Xinyu's. She appeared to be walking away from the handshake in disgust, after her loss, with her head already turning away while walking, but her hand seemed to still want to stay with the handshake. She then briefly turned back her head towards Xinyu and reclaimed her hand. My guess is Penko was going to give her usual cold fish handshake and Xinyu wasn't having any of that and wanted the real handshake and grabbed Penko's hand longer.

Always some drama, Penko is the ultimate net drama queen.

 

[tennis24x7]

Emma wakes up, serves a breadstick to play 3.

This is crazy stuff.

 

[tennis24x7]

^ Your bad!

Sorana will definitely need therapy. May even retire.

 

[Kralingen]

Do Gauff and Sakkari play every tournament?

Lets see what happens against Muchova in the 4th round. If Muchova plays well, that could be a fight. Muchova is a royal pain for the entire tour when her game clicks.

Muchova is always dangerous especially against the top ladies.

But these two met at the United Cup just over two months ago with Iga winning 6-3 6-4. Previous two meetings before that were in 2023 at the Montreal 3R and French Open final with Iga winning in 3.

The only win for Karolina came before both hit their strides and was way back in 2019 in the 1R of Prague with Muchova winning in 3.

But if anyone can do it to Iga, it’s Karolina. Should be juicy.

Why does tennis channel think Garcia v Swiatek will be a good match? Garcia hasn't won a thing, or looked convincing, for a year now.

Just gonna quote myself here, from early last week.

Pegula was also not a fan of the court surface. The ball fuzzed up and the points are longer she said during her post-match interview. That's the Plexipave to Laykold change.

Why is she complaining? She plays some of the most boring, cookie cutter tennis on tour. Does she think she is Sabalenka or something?

Always some drama, Penko is the ultimate net drama queen.

Sounds like it was the other player that actually created the drama. The whole "hold onto someone's hand to force a longer handshake" thing is really silly and lame.

 

[spystud]

Keys up a set & break on Mertens.

 

[Gooner89]

Great start from Jack....ground that set out nicely.

 

[spystud]

Jack Keys?

 

[spystud]

Elise breaks to 4-5.

 

[spystud]

6-all in the breaker, this isn’t a tennis clinic.

 

[spystud]

8-7 Elise now after saving 4 MPs.

 

[spystud]

Wow, playing 3, unexpected. That was old school MK, shots flying everywhere.

 

[zvelf]

Yep, lots of Keys' unforced errors helps Mertens save 4 match points and take it to a third.

 

[tx10is]

lol was wondering who tennis channel was going to pick between keys and gauf. Madison keys goes to a third set and tennis channel dumps her to show the start of coco gauf match. smh

 

[spystud]

Do Gauff and Sakkari play every tournament?

They up now.

 

[spystud]

First to Kartal over Polina.

 

[spystud]

Madison finally wins, she made that way more difficult than necessary.

 

[spystud]

Kartal in straights.

 

[spystud]

Coco breadsticks the opening breaker.

 

[Kralingen]

Coco is gonna be so hard to hit through

 

[spystud]

Belinda v. Shnaider underway.

 

[spystud]

Haber & Lindsay are not pleased with this match’s quality.

Coco has 6 DFs in this game trying to serve it out.

 

[spystud]

Hey, she won on her 6th MP. Maria absolutely refused to take that game.

 

[Pass750]

Haber & Lindsay are not pleased with this match’s quality.

Coco has 6 DFs in this game trying to serve it out.

Thats insanity! And she won, shows how bone-headed Sakkari is!

 

[spystud]

Wish somebody counted stats for balls hit into the net. Maria would be up there.

 

[spystud]

Aryna v. Bronzetti now. Good luck, little one.
