Emma Raducanu beaten in three sets by Petra Martic in Indian Wells (unknown)

Emma Raducanu, the US Open champion, was two points from victory in the third set before Petra Martic won the decider 7-5 to reach the last 16.

After trailing by an early break in the second set, Murray faded and was unable to recover from the deficit. Despite the frustrating result, Raducanu was not even certain of competing in Indian Wells at the start of last week as she recovered from a leg injury sustained last month. She stood two points from victory three times before losing her serve and the final three games of match.

Martic rallies past Raducanu to reach Indian Wells Round of 16 (unknown)

Former Top 15 player Petra Martic came back from a break down in the final set to outlast reigning US Open champion Emma Raducanu at the BNP Paribas Open.

There were no breaks of serve at all in the second set, but from 4-4 in the tiebreak, Samsonova reeled off three straight points to triumph. Martic went up an early 2-0 break in the third set, but Raducanu won five of the next seven games to serve for the match at 5-4. World No.32 Samsonova won her first Hologic WTA Tour singles title last year on the grass courts of Berlin, when she was still ranked outside of the Top 100. Martic saved a pivotal break point with a winning volley en route to a hold for 5-4, and she hit another amazing volley to reach double set point in the following game. But Raducanu saved her best for the tiebreak, firing a dazzling series of passes and down-the-line winners to collect the one-set lead after just over an hour. And then, the same thing in the third.
