This week, Indian Wells dominated the tennis world, with 2024 champions Carlos Alcaraz and Iga Swiatek suffering similar fates but contrasting futures. Elsewhere, there was a top-10 reshuffle on the ATP Tour, three American women lining up in the WTA Tour top five and some retirees getting a nice new tournament.

Iga Swiatek was beaten by Mirra Andreeva in the semi-finals of Indian Wells on Friday and she narrowly avoided hitting a ball kid in the third set.

Russian teenager Mirra Andreeva beat defending champion Iga Swiatek 7-6(1) 1-6 6-3 on Friday to reach the Indian Wells final for the first time as she sets her sights on back-to-back WTA 1000 titles.
