INDIAN WELLS, Calif. – Neither Rafael Nadal nor Taylor Fritz were fit coming into this final

But Nadal was worse off, even though he had his chances. And Fritz, the “home boy” who did a pretty painful number on his ankle during his semifinal win over Andrey Rublev, got it done for the biggest win of his career.

As for the women’s final, there was just too much Swiatek.
