World No. 1 Iga Swiatek is poised to compete against Marta Kostyuk in the semifinals of the Indian Wells Open 2024, in what is anticipated to be a riveting contest for a spot in the final.

Swiatek advanced to the semifinals after receiving a walkover in her quarterfinal match against Caroline Wozniacki, who retired due to a right foot injury sustained at the end of the first set. Before this, Swiatek showcased formidable form, overcoming Danielle Collins (6-3, 6-0) in the Round of 64, Linda Noskova (6-4, 6-0) in the Round of 32, and Yulia Putintseva (6-1, 6-2) in the Round of 16.

Conversely, Marta Kostyuk has been a dominant force throughout the tournament. She commenced her journey with a victory over Mai Hontama (6-4, 6-2) in the Round of 64 and progressed to the next round via a walkover against Marketa Vondrousova. Kostyuk then continued her winning streak by defeating Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova (6-4, 6-1) in the Round of 16 and Anastasia Potapova (6-0, 7-5) in the quarterfinals.
