Indian Wells summary: Another Krejcikova shift and history for Spain and Britain

The tournament in Indian Wells, USA, was played almost seven months late and is considered the fifth Grand Slam in the tennis world. The Masters category tournament without world number one Novak Djokovic and Ashleigh Barty opened up the opportunity for other tennis players. And the winners were very unexpected.

They were Britain’s Cameron Norrie and Spain’s Paula Badosa. Both of them also have several qualities in common in their quest for the title.

Both Norrie and Badosa were seeded number 21 in the US. In addition, they became the first Briton and the first Spaniard to triumph in the Californian “1000”.

Petra Kvitova ended her season after a disappointing tournament. In Indian Wells, the Czech reached the third round and we can look forward to seeing her again in the new calendar year, probably on the Australian concrete.

Although Karolina Pliskova remains the Czech number one, Barbora Krejcikova is on her back. This season’s Comet is ranked fourth in Monday’s edition of the rankings.

It is the best ranking in her life for the confidante of Ales Kartus and we can look forward to seeing Kateřina Siniaková’s partner not only at the Billie Jean King Cup in Prague, but also at the Tournament of Champions in Mexico.

We are slowly coming to the end of a season that has offered many interesting things and its culmination will be worth it. The fight for the title at the Champions Tournament and the Champions Tournament, the Davis Cup and the BJKC. Definitely something to watch.
