Tunisian Ons Jabeur saw her Indian Wells 1,000-point tournament run end abruptly as Jabeur exits early, falling to Ukraine’s Diana Yastremska in the second round, 3-6, 1-6, on Saturday. Yastremska now advances to face world number two and defending champion Iga Swiatek, who cruised past France’s Caroline Garcia 6-2, 6-0, reinforcing her dominance in the draw.
Swiatek’s Historic Run Continues
Swiatek’s victory adds to her impressive record. Per Opta, since 2009, she has notched 35 wins against past 1,000-point tournament champions, trailing only Victoria Azarenka (41) and Petra Kvitova (37). Her 11.3% rate of 6-0 set wins in these events is the highest ever, setting a daunting challenge for Yastremska.
Tauson Triumphs Over Osorio
Denmark’s Clara Tauson, ranked 22nd, outlasted Colombia’s Camila Osorio 7-6, 7-5, securing her 16th win of 2025—the most of any player this season. She’ll face Russia’s ninth-ranked Mir Andreeva, fresh off a Dubai title, who beat France’s Varvara Gracheva 7-5, 6-4. At her age, Andreeva trails only Amanda Anisimova for consecutive opening-match wins in 1,000-point events.
Czech Duel Looms
Katerina Siniakova of Czechia dispatched Kazakhstan’s Yulia Putintseva 6-2, 6-2, setting up a third-round clash with compatriot Karolina Muchova, who defeated Italy’s Elisabetta Cocciaretto 6-4, 6-3. This all-Czech matchup promises a tight contest.
Boulter Battles Through
Britain’s Katie Boulter, ranked 25th, rallied past Irina Begu 6-7, 6-3, 6-0 to reach the third round. She’ll meet Kazakhstan’s Elena Rybakina, who overcame Dutchwoman Susan Lammens 6-3, 6-3. As Jabeur exits early, the draw opens up, giving players like Boulter a chance to shine.
