Iga Swiatek and Elena Rybakina advanced to the fourth round of Indian Wells with commanding victories. Swiatek aims to reclaim her top form after a past suspension, while Rybakina impressively rallied to secure her win. On the men's side, Stefanos Tsitsipas and Daniil Medvedev also moved forward, showcasing their strong performances.

In a powerful showcase of skills, defending champion Iga Swiatek swiftly dispatched Dayana Yastremska 6-0 6-2, while 2023 champion Elena Rybakina overcame Katie Boulter 6-0 7-5 at Indian Wells, advancing to the fourth round of the prestigious tournament.

Swiatek, who dreams of becoming the first woman to win this championship three times, appeared unstoppable, reeling off ten consecutive games against her Ukrainian competitor in just 65 minutes. Despite enduring a challenging month-long suspension for a failed drug test, the Polish player is eager to return to her winning streak, emphasizing her affection for the Californian venue.

Also in top form, Rybakina showcased her remarkable defensive play, especially during a game determining the match's fate. Meanwhile, men's players Stefanos Tsitsipas and Daniil Medvedev advanced, with Tsitsipas demonstrating his athleticism and Medvedev progressing due to his opponent's early retirement.
