Iga Swiatek had to play some of her best tennis to overcome Simona Halep, winning 7-6(6), 6-4 to reach the final. She has now advanced to the title round of a second straight WTA 1000 event, having won the title in Qatar last month.
Sakkari knocks out defending champion Badosa
Maria Sakkari reached the biggest final of her career after defeating Paula Badosa 6-2, 4-6, 6-1 in the semifinals at Indian Wells. The World No. 6 remained steady throughout the contest and subdued her opponent whenever she tried to make a comeback.
Sakkari has now reached a career-high ranking of No. 3 and will go up to No. 2 by claiming the title.
Rublev makes light work of Dimitrov
Andrey Rublev won his 13th match in a row by defeating Grigor Dimitrov 7-5, 6-2 in the quarterfinals. The Bulgarian was no match for the Russian, who looked in complete control throughout the match.
Fritz survives a tough challenge from Kecmanovic
