Raducanu crashes out at Indian Wells with a defeat to Swiatek 

crashed out at Indian Wells, as World No 1 Iga Swiatek continued her title defence with a 6-3 6-1 victory on Tuesday.

Swiatek came under pressure early in the opening set but some clean ballstriking helped her hold for a 3-2 lead after two tight service games. She raised her level further to break Raducanu in the next game before pulling away.

Having wrapped up the first set when Raducanu sent a shot long from the baseline, Swiatek grabbed an early break in the second to heap the pressure on the Briton, whose unforced errors began to mount.
