In addition to her win over No.17 Gauff, Halep also defeated Ons Jabeur en route to the semifinals of the Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships in February. "I'm not scared about the wind," Halep said. I think I was making the right decisions, just not executing them." Halep secured the 6-3 opening set after 38 minutes, but Gauff was not without her chances.

Andy Murray's Indian Wells campaign was brought to an end as he lost his second-round tie to Kazakhstan's Alexander Bublik in straight sets.

The British player began well, although he passed up an excellent opportunity to take control of the opening set with three break points at 2-1 and failed to convert any of them. The former world No 1 was edged out in a tense first-set tiebreak that went to 11-9 before Bublik closed out the second set to wrap up a 7-6 6-3 victory in just under two hours.
