Preview

Can Zheng Qinwen stop the unstoppable? That’s the question as she faces Iga Swiatek in the Indian Wells Open quarterfinals. Swiatek has bulldozed through the draw, dropping just six games in three matches, numbers that haven’t been seen since Monica Seles in 2002. She’s been ruthless, and completely in control.

Desert conditions? Perfect. Faster courts? No problem. The defending champion has looked untouchable.

But Zheng? She’s quietly building momentum and after a rough start to the season, she’s back with coach Pere Riba, the man who guided her to gold at the Paris Olympics, where she stunned Swiatek in the semis. That 6-2, 7-5 win wasn’t just a victory; it was a statement.

It snapped Swiatek’s legendary 26-match win streak at Roland Garros and proved that Zheng can hang with the best.

Prediction

Iga Swiatek has shown no mercy at Indian Wells Open 2025 as the World No. #2 has beaten Caroline Garcia, Dayana Yastremska, and Karolina Muchova without breaking a sweat.

As a two-time champion, Swiatek excels in the desert. Some people talked about faster courts this year, but her powerful performance has put those worries to rest.

On the other hand, Qinwen Zheng has found her groove after a tough start to 2025. The 21-year-old came to Indian Wells without having won two matches in a row this season.

But she’s gained confidence winning every set against Victoria Azarenka, Lulu Sun, and Marta Kostyuk. Still, her record against Swiatek looks grim. She’s lost six times and won once, on clay at the 2024 Olympics.

Swiatek can control the pace of play. This, plus her great movement and defense, makes her the likely winner. Zheng has the power to give Swiatek trouble. But unless she serves well and takes chances in rallies, it’s hard to see her winning. Expect Swiatek to win in two sets.

Result: Iga Swiatek to win in straight sets.
