Karolina Pliskova and Ons Jabeur qualified for the third round of the Indian Wells tournament, unlike Garbine Muguruza, eliminated by Ajla Tomljanovic.
Victorious of the big tournament in Chicago last week, Garbine Muguruza, seeded No. 5, fell from the top in Indian Wells by being eliminated in the second round. The Spaniard suffered the law of Ajla Tomljanovic on the score of 6-3, 1-6, 6-3 in 1h53, in a match marked by eleven breaks, where she completely collapsed from 3-3 in the last set. Two other seeds fell at the start of the day, but they are less well classified than the Spaniard: Sara Sorribes Tormo (n ° 28) eliminated by Anna Kalinskaya in three sets (6-3, 4-6, 6- 2) after having lost her serve six times, and Camila Giorgi (n ° 30), fallen against Amanda Anisimova, victorious 6-4, 6-1 in 1h24, taking advantage in particular of the 11 double faults of the Italian.
Jabeur suffered
On the other hand, everything went well for the seeded n ° 1, Karolina Pliskova, who dominated the Polish qualifier Magdalena Frech 7-5, 6-2 in 1:20 thanks in particular to 6 aces and coming back from 3-4 at 7-5 in the first set before unwinding in the second. It also goes for Ons Jabeur (n ° 12), who suffered but ended up beating Anastasija Sevastova 6-2, 6-7, 6-3 in 1:57, losing only once his serve. Tamara Zidansek (n ° 26) also needed three sets to eliminate Ana Konjuh: 6-4, 5-7, 6-3 in 2h14 in a match with eleven breaks and 23 double faults in total!
