Despite showing good performances throughout Indian Wells 2026, Iga Swiatek has been eliminated in the quarterfinals by Elina Svitolina (6-2, 4-6, 6-4). The consequence of this defeat for the Polish player, besides abruptly halting her attempt at a third title in California, is confirming a negative record that had never occurred in her successful career. Following the loss to the Ukrainian, for the first time, Swiatek suffers five consecutive defeats against Top-10 players: Elina Svitolina (Indian Wells 2026), Elena Rybakina (Australian Open 2026), Coco Gauff (United Cup 2026), Amanda Anisimova (WTA Finals 2025), and once again, Elena Rybakina (WTA Finals 2025).
