Indian Wells: Round of 16 results - WTA 1000

The round of 16 matches at the WTA 1000 level of the Indian Wells has been concluded, with most top seeds advancing to the quarterfinals and a few upsets occurring.

Here's a full recap of all results and some significant highlights in the round.

World No. 1 and defending champion Iga Swiatek played exceptionally to defeat Emma Raducanu in straight sets of 6-3, 6-1, and reach the last 8 of Indian Wells.

Raducanu had her best tournament since winning the US Open in 2021, but sadly her best wasn't good enough against an incredible Swiatek.

Sorana Cirstea got a fantastic top 5 win over Caro Garcia 6-4, 4-6, 7-5 to reach the quarterfinals in Indian Wells for the first time.

It's the 32-year-olds third career WTA 1000 quarterfinal on hardcourts and fifth overall.

Australian Open finalist Elena Rybakina overwhelms Varvara Gracheva 6-3, 6-0, advancing to the last eight.

The Wimbledon champion has been in superb form this season.

In an epic clash, two-time Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova saved four match points and got a big victory over No.3 seed Jessica Pegula 6-2, 3-6, 7-6(11) to qualify for the quarterfinals of the Indian Wells for the first time since 2016.

Karolina Muchova defeated Marketa Vondrousova 6-4, 6-7(2), 6-4, in a thrilling 2 hours and 36 minutes battle to reach back-to-back WTA 1000 round of 8 after Dubai.

In a match between the winners of the two biggest events of the year, Australian Open champion Aryna Sabalenka conquered Dubai champion Barbora Krejcikova (the only player to defeat Sabalenka in 2023) 6-3, 2-6, 6-4, and advance to the quarterfinals of the Indian Wells for the first time.

Maria Sakkari survived 2 hours and 45 minutes match against Pliskova for 6-4, 5-7, 6-3.

No look handshake from Pliskova, who thinks Sakkari cheated later in the third set. Pliskova says Sakkari touched a ball at the net, but the umpire didn't see it and Sakkari denied the action.

The American came back from a break down in the third set against Rebecca Peterson 6-3, 1-6, 6-4 to move into the quarterfinals in Indian Wells for the first time in her career.

Gauff has now reached seven quarterfinals in her last eight tournaments.
