it was so intense i was jumping out of my seat lol
would be a little sad if aryna lost it in the end
I don't think the 2026 Indian Wells Open could've went any better. Aryna Sabalenka is without a doubt the best player in the WTA.
Indian Wells started off rather lackluster because I also cheered for Paula Badosa and Peyton Stearns. Both were eliminated in the first round.
Emma Raducanu made a run to the Round of 32. Eva Lys is fun to watch but her right knee injury forced her to withdraw from Indian Wells.
I was also intrigued with Mirra Andreeva and Iva Jovic. Both are 18-year-old superstars. Ranked very highly. 7th and 20th respectively.
Both teenagers will have plenty of time to win some major Tournaments and grand slam Titles as well. Mirra must control her emotions.
The American Iva Jovic has a chance to be the future of Tennis. I'm not quite sure what is holding her back? Her game is well advanced.
But in the end it was the top two ranked players in the WTA putting on a show in the Final. Rybakina (#3) will be ranked #2 tomorrow morning.
If somebody asked me to name my Top 10 WTA players I'd have trouble doing so. There's so much talent and many players that I enjoy watching.
