Kamilla Rakhimova defeated Bianca Andreescu 6–7, 6–0, 6–1 in the first round of the Indian Wells Masters 1000 on hard court. Despite entering as the pre-match favourite at odds of 1.74, Andreescu faltered after a competitive opening set decided by tiebreak. Rakhimova's upset victory—she was a 2.05 outsider—marked a dominant turnaround, with the Russian claiming the second and third sets without meaningful resistance. The collapse from Andreescu after the first-set loss suggests significant momentum and confidence issues that will require addressing in her immediate fixtures.
