Wimbledon winner Markéta Vondrousová withdrew from the Indian Wells tennis tournament. The organizers on the X social network said that she will not start the match of the 3rd round with the Ukrainian Marta Kostyukova. According to Reuters, the world number seven decided not to continue the competition for personal reasons.
In the beginning of the tournament, Vondroušová outclassed the home Bernarda Peraová 6:0, 6:2.
The singles tournament in the California desert also ended for Kateřina Siniaková, who lost in the 2nd round to Elina Svitolina 3:6, 6:2 and 1:6. The Ukrainian lost for the fourth time in her career, each time in three sets.
The world number two and last year’s finalist Aryna Sabalenková from Belarus avoided four match points in the match against the American Peyton Stearns and won 6:7, 6:2, 7:6. She struggled with the 64th ranked WTA player for almost three hours.
“She is an incredible player and she played crazy. She told me at the net ‘I had you’. And she was right. I guess I was just a little lucky to win,” said Sabalenková. The winner of this year’s Australian Open will face Britain’s Emma Raducanu in the third round, whose progress was facilitated by Ukraine’s Dajana Jastremska’s 4-0 defeat for the US Open 2021 champion.
From the away game, the finalist of the opening Grand Slam of the season is the Chinese woman Cheng Chin-wen, who lost to compatriot Yuan Yue 4:6, 3:6. The 49th player in the world confirmed her good form with the victory after her triumph at the previous tournament in Austin.
After five years, Serbian Novak Djokovic made his appearance in Indian Wells. The world number one needed three sets to advance to the third round over Australian Aleksandar Vukic. The holder of a record 24 Grand Slam titles won the first match after being eliminated in the semi-finals of the Australian Open 6:2, 5:7, 6:3.
