Andrey Rublev and Iga Swiatek power on at Indian Wells, Emma Raducanu exits

Andrey Rublev pushed his ATP winning streak to 10 matches on Sunday, shaking off a slow start to beat Dominik Koepfer 7-5, 6-4 in his second-round opener at the Indian Wells WTA and ATP Masters. Rublev fell 4-2 down before breaking 51st-ranked Koepfer twice to pocket the first set. He finished with 32 winners against the German and won 11 of 15 points at the net to put the match away.

Alexander Bublik, the 31st seed, sent former world number one Andy Murray packing with a 7-6 (11/9), 6-3 win over the three-time Grand Slam champion. Bublik, coming off his first career ATP title at Montpellier in February, beat
