Fernandez overpowered by Indian Wells defending champion Badosa (tenniscanada.com)

Leylah Fernandez was eliminated from the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells in the fourth round on Tuesday by Paula Badosa.

The Canadian did a good job of hanging with Badosa in the hard-hitting rallies, striking 24 winners. Failing to convert a pair of break points early in the second set proved costly for Fernandez, as she went down love-40 in the fifth game and, despite saving those first three break points, she netted a backhand at 40-AD to go down a set and a break. Badosa’s raw power also made a difference, as she ripped 23 winners.

Badosa stops Fernandez to return to Indian Wells quarterfinals (WTA Tennis)

Paula Badosa continued her title defense at the BNP Paribas Open, defeating US Open finalist Leylah Fernandez. The Spaniard will face Veronika Kudermetova, ...

The first break of the serve in the match came deep in the second set, with Kudermetova breaking at love for a 5-4 lead. Her serve has been clicking in the California desert, and though she was finally broken for the first time by the Swiss, her serve remained the difference-maker. "The key was a little bit the serve and to push her when she was serving. As Rybakina explained after her quarterfinal win over two-time champion Victoria Azarenka, she was felled by a foot injury at the Australian Open and contracted Covid in early February. The first meeting between Kudermetova and Vondrousova came down to the wire, as Vondrousova's creative variety went toe-to-toe with Kudermetova's athletic striking. She shut the door with a clean hold to seal the win in 1 hour and 42 minutes. Up next: Badosa will face Veronika Kudermetova, who has proven a tough opponent for her in the past. After opening the set with a quick hold at love, Fernandez forced a seven-deuce game on Badosa's serve and earned two break points. She has knocked off Tereza Martincova, Sara Sorribes Tormo and now Fernandez. A champion in Sydney to start the year, Badosa is into her second quarterfinal of the season. But Badosa struck back again to lead 5-4 and closed out the opening set after 45 minutes with a love hold. How the match was won: Badosa proved the more powerful and more consistent player on this night, with the Spaniard coming up big on the biggest points of the match. Needless to say, in their first main-draw meeting on the Hologic WTA Tour, the stakes were remarkably higher.

Paula Badosa powered past Leylah Fernandez 6-4 6-4 to reach the quarter-finals on Tuesday, as she takes on Veronika Kudermetova or Marketa Vondrousova next.

I just try to compete and fight until the end.” I have a plan that I have to do, and today was a pretty solid victory. “I try not to judge myself for the mistakes… Kerber broke early in the third for a 3-1 lead but the third seeded Swiatek broke back to level at 3-3 and rolled on. Halep is now 19-0 in matches against her compatriots. Badosa drew first blood in the opening set when she broke for a 4-3 lead and although U.S. Open runner-up Fernandez hit back with a break, the Spaniard raised her level to take the early advantage in the contest.

"Truth be told, I wasn't really sure what my tactics should be, if I should be more aggressive or play more patient game," Swiatek said. I knew I had to fight and serve very well. "But at the end I think I made the right decision in right time, in right moments of the match." "Leylah is an amazing player, very fast and good timing. "I didn't like how I handled the start of the second set. "In the important moments, like 4-3, down the breakpoints, I think I stayed very composed," added Badosa, who next faces Veronica Kudermetova, a 7-6 (7/5), 6-7 (5/7), 7-5 winner over Marketa Vondrousova. But he admitted he'll need to do better after a victory in which he trailed 4-1 in the second set.

Canada's Leylah Fernandez has been eliminated from the BNP Paribas Open. The 19-year-old from Laval, Que., lost 6-4, 6-4 to defending champion Paula Badosa ...

"The central idea of the four Grand Slam tournaments was absolutely to line up. "We have a lot of players in the top 100. The French Open, which begins May 22, was the only major to not use a deciding tiebreaker. I do think getting two players in the top 10 sometime in the near future is very conceivable." When I got the opportunity, I was going to go for it." Fritz reached the semifinals at Indian Wells last year, his career-best result in an ATP Masters 1000 event. "If I got a second serve, I was going to be more aggressive. She started to play a little bit better. I'm pretty proud of myself that I could win against such a smart player." "The second set was a little bit tougher because I started to miss. "I feel like I played perfect in the first set," Halep said. "I felt like she wanted to use her experience and kind of trick me," Swiatek said.

"I think the first one that was being aggressive got more chances. I think I did that the entire match, and I’m very, very happy to be back in the quarterfinals again.”
