Summary
Can you tell we like alliteration? Catherine, David and Matt look back on a day of Last 16 action at Indian Wells. There’s chat about Iga Swiatek’s ruthlessness, an epic match between Petra Kvitova and Jessica Pegula, yet another three set victory for Maria Sakkari, Coco Gauff’s fighting spirit, how Daniil Medvedev survived an ankle roll to beat Alexander Zverev, the sparkling form of Cameron Norrie and Taylor Fritz, aggro between Stan Wawrinka and Holger Rune, and a late night win for Felix Auger-Aliassime over Tommy Paul.

| 0:00.0 | Hi, this is Billie Jean King. This is Mary and Bartoli. I'm Matt's Belander. This is Mary Carillo. |
| 0:05.3 | This is Pam Shriver. This is Yannick Noah and you're listening to the tennis podcast. |
| 0:20.6 | Welcome back to tennis podcast towers Indian Wells where you find us at 10.30 pm. This Tuesday evening |
| 0:29.3 | watching tennis. The majority of the days for our matches have been played and completed, |
| 0:36.2 | but some remain notably Tommy Paul against Felix Orje Alia Seam who are currently locked at one |
| 0:43.4 | set a piece. We'll keep you posted. So keep listening for soon to be out today, tennis news. |
| 0:50.0 | I'll save a second. It's what you've all tuned in for, but no, we've watched plenty of completed |
| 0:55.8 | matches today and there is no shortage of stuff to talk about. David's here. Hello, |
| 1:02.0 | yeah, I'm quite glad Matt has been put in charge of the agenda and actually writing all of this down |
| 1:07.5 | because I've long since forgotten what happened in the early afternoon. And yesterday we've got some of |
| 1:15.2 | yesterday's action to talk about. So, yes, a tournament that is quite hard to keep track of. |
| 1:23.2 | Well, except that today everybody played and everybody was in the same round, which has helped me |

| 1:37.2 | today it's all very neat and tidy. We know where we are and what we've just watched this evening |
| 1:44.4 | will sort of start backwards shall we and start with what we've just watched, which is Ege |
| 1:50.4 | Shviontek beating Emma Radikarnu 6361, which sounds like a beat down, doesn't it? But it wasn't. |
| 1:59.8 | I mean, second set, yes, it was a bit of a landslide. One sided, I think Radikarnu faded physically, |
| 2:05.9 | whether that's to do with the illness she's been suffering with. There were a few sort of |
| 2:10.8 | coughs and exhalations from her in that second set. She definitely did fade physically, but |
| 2:16.5 | Shviontek was in a match there in that opening set. I know 6363 sounds fairly one sided, but it really wasn't. |
| 2:24.7 | It was one lapsing concentration or one lapsing level from Radikarnu to get broken and all the other |
| 2:32.6 | games were close. And that was a similar story in Shviontek's match yesterday against |
