Iga Swiatek has made it to the semifinal of the Indian Wells directly after Caroline Wozniacki retired from the match following a toe injury. The Pole looked confident from the very start of the match and had already won the first set and the first game of the second set when the Danish player gave a walkover. It was visible during the second set that something was seriously wrong and she was struggling on the court.
However, even without the injury, Iga Swiatek was in a good enough position to comfortably win the match from there. The Pole is one of the favorites to win the 2024 Indian Wells, being the top seed of the tournament on the women’s side of things. Moreover, with Aryna Sabalenka out of the tournament already, the chances of her winning the tournament now seem even clearer.
Come back stronger, @CaroWozniacki
