Emma Navarro continued her breakthrough season with a 6-3, 3-6, 6-2 win against the Australian Open champion Aryna Sabalenka to reach the BNP Paribas Open quarter-finals in Indian Wells. Navarro, who won her first WTA title in Hobart this year, was able to outlast the world No 2 in a back-and-forth contest that lasted 1hr 56min. Navarro secured one of her most important points after an incredible rally, with both players running across the width and breath of the court.
