INDIAN WELLS, Calif. –  Precious little action on this Tuesday, with just two women’s singles matches and two doubles matches.

All are at the quarterfinal stage.

Both look pretty promising, and Kvitova did well just to even get there after an absolutely draining, marathon third-set tiebreak won over Jessica Pegula Tuesday night).

In the end, Sabalenka was a level above, and Sakkari fought back for the win.

(Indian Wells, Calif. is on PT, three hours behind ET. Don’t forget the clocks go forward an hour Saturday night)
