–
INDIAN WELLS, Calif. – There certainly are some key seeds missing.
But on the other side of the ledger were two high-profile names who are still alive.
One was wild card Emma Raducanu.
The other was Naomi Osaka, who is in on a protected ranking.
Both are out now, even if both put up credible showings considering their long absences.
