The Swiss tennis player has reached the quarterfinals of Indian Wells after eliminating Coco Gauff and playing with a wildcard following her one-year break due to maternity.
Belinda Bencic's journey in Indian Wells 2025 is worthy of praise. The Swiss player has reached the quarter-finals of the Californian tournament by defeating one of the favorites, Coco Gauff (3-6, 6-3, 6-4) in the round of 16, and she did it with a 'Wildcard'. But there is even more praise when considering that just a year ago she gave birth to her son. What's more, she joins a list of players who made it to the quarter-finals of Indian Wells after receiving a 'Wildcard'. Among these are great players like: Elena Bovina (2001), Martina Hingis (2006), Serena Williams (2015), Bianca Andreescu (2019), and Caroline Wozniacki (2024).

Despite a month having passed since the agreement between Jannik Sinner and the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) was known, in which the Italian accepted a three-month suspension, the handling of the world number one's positive case continues to receive criticism. One of the most criticized bodies has been the ITIA (International Tennis Integrity Agency) who accepted Sinner's justification and sanctioned him with a few weeks off, just after testing positive at Indian Wells 2024. Therefore, their director, Karen Moorhouse, has come out in defense of her agency.
"It was mistakenly believed that we were announcing positive tests, when, in reality, we were announcing provisional suspensions," she states in statements collected by Ubitennis. She also explains why none of Sinner's staff members were sanctioned: "There was no justification to prosecute any member of his team because the premise was missing, that is, the intention to use doping substances."

The American player, who is already in the quarterfinals of Indian Wells, claims to be at his best tennis level since Australia and is very happy with the level he is showing.
Who would have told Belinda Bencic when she received the 'Wildcard' to play at Indian Wells 2025, that she would reach the quarterfinals of the Californian desert. The Swiss player has been advancing through the rounds step by step and quietly until causing one of the surprises by defeating Coco Gauff. The current world number 45, who has climbed thirteen positions in the ranking since the beginning of the tournament, came back against the American player (3-6, 6-3, 6-4, after two hours and 21 minutes) in a very close match. Her opponent for a spot in the semifinals will come from the match between Donna Vekic and Madison Keys.

Carlos Alcaraz is making history in the world of tennis and wants to increase his legacy more and more, even though he is only 21 years old.

While in the process of doing so, the player from Murcia has taken a historical tennis quiz. From who was the last to win all 4 Grand Slams in a single season to who was the only one to beat Nadal twice at Roland Garros, including what was Federer's first major win and in what year he achieved it. An interesting quiz that Alcaraz passed.

The rain has been the main protagonist on this day of Indian Wells 2025. The storm forced the matches of the second shift of the day to stop, and they were not resumed until two hours later. But this break was not an inconvenience for Elina Svitolina who advances to the quarterfinals after coming back against Jessica Pegula with a score of 5-7, 6-1, and 6-2. The rain arrived just after the end of the second set, and after returning to the court, the Ukrainian maintained her level of play to defeat the American. Now, she will fight for a spot in the semifinal against the winner of the duel between Mirra Andreeva and Elena Rybakina.

Holger Rune is turning out to be one of the most positive surprises of this Indian Wells 2025. The Dane defeated Stefanos Tsitsipas against all odds, who was in great form but couldn't match the level of the Nordic player (6-4, 6-4). After his victory, he stopped by the Tennis Channel studio where they asked for his opinion on the new crop of players like Joao Fonseca, Learner Tien, or Arthur Fils: "Now, I feel old, it's a strange feeling. I used to be the youngest alongside Alcaraz, and now we are the 'experienced' players. But for me, it's incredible, very motivating. Fils, Fonseca, or Tien are playing great tennis, it's exciting to see new players, and I hope to have great matches against them soon."
"I feel old now!" 😂
