Elina Svitolina triumphed over Jessica Pegula in a challenging match at Indian Wells, winning 5-7, 6-1, 6-2 after a three-hour rain delay. Despite losing the first set, Svitolina showed resilience, refocusing her game in the second set. Pegula was on a hot streak with seven consecutive wins. The quarter-finals mark Svitolina's return to this stage for the first time since 2019. Meanwhile, Iga Swiatek dominated Karolina Muchova 6-1, 6-1, continuing her strong performance in the tournament with minimal errors and aiming for a potential third championship win.
I got a little bit angry [about losing the first set], a little bit fired up in that second set and tried to play better tennis, Svitolina said.
It's tennis. Things like that can happen. For sure, I used my opportunities and I used my chances. It's not easy, but, well, I can imagine that it looks like it.
