Indian Wells Masters LIVE: Simona Halep beats Sorana Cirstea in all-Romanian showdown at Indian Wells

Indian Wells Masters LIVE – Simona Halep beats Sorana Cirstea: “It is challenging to play against a Romanian player, it’s a little bit stressful,” Halep said in an interview with Tennis Channel. “But I go on court and just think about myself, I don’t pay attention to who I have to play. I have a plan that I have to do, and today was a pretty solid victory. I felt really good on court.”

Halep will have her hands full in the quarters when she faces Petra Martic after the Czech defeated Ludmilla Samsonova 7-6(6) 6-4. The world number 79 Martic has been hot in the desert, taking out 19th seeded Tamara Zidansek in the second round before outlasting U.S. Open champion Emma Raducanu on Sunday.

Martic said having a short memory has been key to her recent run of success. “I’m a bit of a perfectionist so that definitely doesn’t help always,” she told reporters.

Kerber broke early in the third for a 3-1 lead but the third seeded Swiatek broke back to level at 3-3 and rolled on from there. The 20-year-old will face Madison Keys on Wednesday after the big-serving American sent British qualifier Harriet Dart packing with a 6-1 6-4 victory.
