Elina Svitolina is already in the quarterfinals of Indian Wells after Katerina Siniakova retired when the score was 6-1 and 1-1 for the Ukrainian. Siniakova, who had a long match against Mirra Andreeva two days earlier, requested medical treatment in the first set for a back injury and eventually withdrew from the match. Svitolina had clearly dominated the first set and was controlling the match before the Czech's retirement. The Ukrainian, one of the fittest players at the start of this season, will now face Iga Swiatek for a spot in the semifinals.
