Elina Svitolina defeated world No. 2 Iga Swiatek 6-2, 4-6, 6-4 in the BNP Paribas Open quarterfinals on March 13, advancing to the semifinals against Elena Rybakina. The Ukrainian's tactical play secured her second career win over Swiatek, extending her tour-leading 19 victories and perfect 6-0 record in three-set matches this season. However, Tennis Channel's coverage, which prioritized men's match discussions, drew widespread fan criticism.
World No. 4 Iga Swiatek has appointed Francisco Roig, formerly Rafael Nadal's backup coach, as her new coach just days before the clay-court season begins. The move follows her split from Wim Fissette after a second-round exit at the Miami Open. Swiatek confirmed the hiring on Instagram, expressing excitement for the partnership.

The Polish Tennis Association has rejected claims of widespread ticket returns ahead of Poland's Billie Jean King Cup qualifier against Ukraine in Gliwice on April 10-11. Coach and analyst Lech Sidor suggested fans were abandoning the event due to Iga Swiatek's absence. The association insists only one return request was made last week.
Iga Swiatek was briefly denied entry to Melbourne Park due to lacking her accreditation, echoing a past incident involving Roger Federer, before securing a straight-sets victory over Maddison Inglis. The world No. 2 advanced to the quarterfinals with a 6-0, 6-3 win, despite frustrations over her night-only scheduling. She now faces Elena Rybakina in a rematch of a heated rivalry.
