Year by Year at Indian Wells

Indian Wells has suited her fast flat first strike game and a run into the second week is the clear target for 2027.

Fitness Outlook for Indian Wells

At full fitness she arrives as a dangerous floater in the draw because her serve and flat groundstrokes travel well on the medium paced desert hard courts. A favourable section could give her a first fourth round or quarterfinal run. The main question is her fitness after an injury disrupted late 2026.
