INDIAN WELLS - Defending champion Iga Swiatek stormed into the Indian Wells quarter-finals with a 6-1, 6-1 victory over Karolina Muchova on March 11, beating the rain that played havoc with many of the day's matches.
The world No. 2 needed just 57 minutes to beat Muchova, who took her to three sets in the 2023 French Open final.
Swiatek, who also won the tournament in 2022, did not face a break point as she continued her bid to become the first woman to win three titles in the California desert.
The five-time Grand Slam champion said the showers that delayed her match by 55 minutes were an extra spur to finish it quickly, especially after the rain came again near the end of the contest.
