Indian Wells: Emma Raducanu beaten by Iga Swiatek in fourth round

Britain's Emma Raducanu is out of Indian Wells after a straight-sets defeat by world number one Iga Swiatek in the fourth round.

The defending champion won 6-3 6-1 to reach the quarter-finals.

The second set was one-sided, but Raducanu's three wins in California represent her best tournament since winning the 2021 US Open.

"I think that Iga played a very good level and showed why she is number one in the world," Raducanu told BBC Sport.

"She was very ruthless with the way that she played. I think I was able to stay competitive for the beginning of the match but ultimately she ground me down and by the end of it I was just taking way too long to recover from one rally.
