Iga Swiatek says she will need to «take care of the tactics» when she faces Emma Raducanu in the fourth round of Indian Wells on Wednesday. World No. 1 Swiatek continued the defence of her title with a 6-3 7-6(1) win over 2019 champion Bianca Andreescu.

Ad That’s the longest streak without a repeat champion at a WTA 1000.
