Defending champion Iga Swiatek was home and dry at rainy Indian Wells on Tuesday, powering into the quarter-finals with a 6-1, 6-1 victory over Karolina Muchova. Griekspoor also made a belated start and waited out a second-set delay in his 7-6 (7/4) 6-1 victory over Japanese qualifier Yosuke Watanuki.

Qinwen Zheng had won just one match this year before arriving at Indian Wells. The Chinese star has somehow found her form in the California desert and has now won three consecutive matches.
