It hadn't been a good start to the season for Qinwen Zheng, with just one victory in her first three tournaments. What was behind this poor start? There is never a single factor that explains it, but one factor can turn the situation around. After undergoing surgery and the corresponding rehabilitation, Pere Riba has finally returned to the sidelines at this WTA 1000 Indian Wells, providing a shot of adrenaline for the Chinese player. Tonight, after defeating Lulu Sun (6-4, 7-5) and advancing to the round of 16, Qinwen secured two consecutive victories for the first time this season. Next up is Kostyuk.
