Kerber (No. 15), who defeated the Chinese Zheng Qinwen and the Russian Daria Kasatkina after a bye in the first round, conceded the decisive break to make it 3: 5 in the third set and was then unable to respond. Dabie had already led the three-time major winner in the decision with a break. Kerber had their first two victories of the year in California. Swiatek will face either Madison Keys or Harriet Dart in the quarterfinals.

Angelique Kerber was the only German player in the field. Since the men around Alexander Zverev (Hamburg) have all already been eliminated, the tournaments in Indian Wells continue without German participation in singles.

Simona Halep, on the other hand, made it into the last eight players. Halep gave her compatriot Sorana Cirstea no chance at 6: 1 and 6: 4 and is now playing against Petra Martic for a place in the semi-finals. Martic won against Ludmilla Samsonova 7:6 (6) and 6:4.
