Qinwen Zheng had won just one match this year before arriving at Indian Wells. The Chinese star has somehow found her form in the California desert and has now won three consecutive matches.

Iga Swiatek admits she was keen on getting "revenge" against Zheng Qinwen in Indian Wells but also tells her Chinese rival that it was "nothing personal" but only a competitive nature.

Iga Swiatek to Win in Straight Sets (1.64): Swiatek's 6-1 head-to-head advantage over Zheng, coupled with superior stats—77.8% first serve points won (to Zheng's 66.4%) and 58.8% second serve points won (to 48.1%)—makes her the favored party. Her 75% break point save percentage under pressure (to Zheng's 40%) further seals the advantage.
