Defending champion Badosa via Koedermetova in the last four at Indian Wells

Paula Badosa and Maria Sakkari are the last to reach the Indian Wells semifinals. The fifth-seeded Spain started the “Fifth Grand Slam” as the champions champion, beating Veronika Kodermetova 6-3, 6-2 and the sixth-seeded Greek gave Kazakhstan’s Jelena Rybakina the control 7-5.6-4.

Badosa had lost all three duels to Kudermetova, but had no children other than the Russians. He played carelessly and reluctantly and did not react to the balls hit by his opponent.

Sakkari quickly took a 4-1 lead, but still won the set, thanks in part to Rybakina’s twenty downs. He missed four time-outs at the start of the second set and broke right after.
