Popcorn time on the Stadium Court on Sunday as Aryna Sabalenka and then Gauff v Eala took centre stage.
On Stadium 2 – Anisimova v Raducanu (a rout), Victoria Mboko and Naomi Osaka.
The Gauff injury – so rare for this sturdy one, made that highly anticipated clash go pfffttttt in a hurry.
But Mboko looked impressive.
(Indian Wells is three hours behind ET).
