Polish tennis player Iga Swiatek halted the momentum of Greek tennis player Maria Sakkari with a 6-3, 6-2 victory at Indian Wells, to advance to the round of 16 of the 2026 BNP Paribas Open.
Swiatek, who lost to Sakkari last month in the Doha quarter-finals, now leads their head-to-head record 5-4.
"We've played in two finals here, so it's funny to see us play again two years later in the third round," Swiatek said after the match.
