Last year's champion Taylor Fritz is through the quarter-final of the Indian Wells Masters after beating Marton Fucsovics in straight sets 6-4 6-3.
There is simply something magical that works for Fritz in Indian Wells as he keeps winning matches. This was once again a very strong performance from the American despite some minor problems in the second set. The first set was really close as Fucsovics played one of his best events in years with the American only getting a late break.
The break point was actually a set point as well 6-4. Both played really well, especially Fucsovics who even served better than Fritz. He had two winners more but simply played one bad game at the worst possible time to lose the set. Fritz played amazing tennis to start the second set just hitting winners left and right.
He took a 4-1 lead when Fucsovics finally started to get into the match as well. This time around he relaxed his hand and we saw some amazing shots from him. The 4-1 lead turned to a 4-3 match with the Hungarian having a chance to make it 4-4 but he failed giving Fritz the crucial break once again.
This time around there was no fumbling from the American as he proceeded to finish off the match 6-3.

- Either Lena has a chronic internal ailment (i.e., colitis, enteritis, Crohn's, or some type of lower abdomen issue) -- or she is once again dealing with 'Vukovitis'. Mental stress can indeed cause lower body pains. No matter... whatever is truly going on sucks. "Virus" excuse is getting a bit old -- and often -- at this point.

- Vukov is doing this to Lena... AGAIN!!!!! WTA's autonomous collective should be dismantled for allowing Vukov to re-emerge from his hand-slapping suspension. Just ask WTA employees how that's been going lately as they witness his continued verbal abuses. Women's Pro Tennis should start over.mandoist08-11-2026

- One step by another step -- WTA continues to 'lose the plot'. Too many hi-tech microphones being installed at most venues!!! Remove them (especially those along the hallways, sidewalks, and pathways throughout the venues. Not to mention (most of all) remove the mic's from the Players/Coaches Box.mandoist06-11-2026

- Don't you just love this young lady!? We fans often expect athletes to be supermen and superwomen, often forgetting that they WILL GET TIRED! I love Alex's perspective. Tiredness for an athlete should never be viewed as a negative, especially if you are healthy, taking care of your body and mental health and putting in the work. What a mature perspective. Good for you, Alex!Rapunzel05-11-2026
- Jess is absolutely correct! But the disrespect is a trait I have noticed in most of the Russian players. Mirra is good but very immature and lacks humility. Conceivable needs to get a handle on that!Rapunzel05-11-2026
