While she was cruising against Katie Boulter, Elena Rybakina had to work harder in the second set to eventually win 6-0, 7-5 in 1 hour and 15 minutes of play.

After 43 minutes on Stadium 2, Rybakina seemed in full control of her match against the British player, leading 6-0, 3-2. However, guilty of a slight lapse in her service game, she saw Boulter convert her only break point of the match to be one game away from forcing a third set.

The world No. 7 then raised her level, winning four consecutive games from 3-5 to 7-5 to close out the match.

On a streak of eight wins at Indian Wells since her title in 2023 (she missed the 2024 edition), Rybakina will face Clara Tauson or Mirra Andreeva for a spot in the quarterfinals.

why did tennis tonic void predictions on the match between Chwalinska and Huergo at the Quito tournament? The match was played to completion and on time. If TT feels the match is one sided, and of course it was, then don't put it up for prediction. This is getting irritating.

The finals are here, and we scramble for the best finish. I've been chasing "King" all year and I was able to shrink the spread a little. Skelp is also closing the gap.

Seasons best to all the regulars in our league.

Will you all be back in the new year.?
