Amanda Anisimova debuted with a victory against Blinkova at Indian Wells 2026 and in the press conference, she explained the tremendous challenge of competing in the conditions of the Californian desert. "I have a love-hate relationship with this tournament because I did very well when I was 16, but then I have struggled a lot with the difficulty of playing in the wind and on this type of court. What is clear is that I learn a lot every time I compete here, but I know it's not enjoyable for everyone to face the challenge of playing in these conditions," said a woman who will face Emma Raducanu in the third round.
