Emma Raducanu returned to the third round of the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells after Dayana Yastremska was forced to retire with a stomach problem with the Briton leading 4-0, 15-0 23 minutes into their second-round match.

By reaching the third round, Raducanu has advanced through two consecutive rounds for the first time since her return to competition this year after undergoing surgery on both hands and an ankle in 2023. The 21-year-old will maintain her spot inside the world top 300, with the result leaving her at No 287 in the WTA rankings.
