World No 1 Iga Swiatek made it through to the semi-finals at Indian Wells for the third consecutive year after Caroline Wozniacki was forced to retire injured.
Wozniacki, the 2011 champion here, retired with a right toe problem after losing six straight games to Swiatek. The 33-year-old mother-of-two proved she is still competitive following a three-and-a-half-year hiatus from professional tennis and started well in their highly anticipated clash by taking a 4-1 lead. That was before Swiatek won what turned out to be the last six games of the match.
'She's only 33 years old and I'm fascinating to see how much further she can go.' Gauff through to semi-finals for first time Coco Gauff made it through to the semi-finals for the first time in her career after defeating China's Yuan Yue 6-4 6-3. 'I'm really happy to be through today's match,' said the 20-year-old.
