MORE TENNIS THAN YOU'LL EVER NEED

WTA Tour – Thursday, March 6, 2025 final results

The doubles began, and the rest of the first-round matches got going with Emma Raducanu taking a loss on the big stadium.

Later, Belinda Bencic, and then American Alycia Parks against Anna Kalinskaya late night (which didn’t get finished)

For Raducanu, who had a horrible experience in the Middle East with a stalker, there is serious security and a high alert around her for a situation that should never be. Not that she’s the first tennis player to have to deal with this. It’s been a lot.

Also on tap: well, a lot of Americans.

(Indian Wells is three hours behind ET).
