Aryna Sabalenka isn't hiding that she is feeling excited ahead of her Indian Wells semifinal battle against Madison Keys as the Belarusian hopes she can get a win this time and make amends for the heartbreaking loss she suffered in the Australian Open final.

Two marquee matches headline semifinal day at the WTA Indian Wells. Aryna Sabalenka and Madison Keys face off in an Australian Open final rematch. Meanwhile, Mirra Andreeva and Iga Swiatek clash for the second WTA 1000 tournament of the season.

Defending champion Iga Swiatek beat Zheng Qinwen 6-3, 6-3 on Thursday, avenging her Olympics semi-final loss to the Paris Games gold medallist to reach the last four at Indian Wells. The world number two from Poland will get a chance to avenge another upset loss in a semi-final clash with Mirra Andreeva -- the 17-year-old Russian who stunned her in the quarter-finals at Dubai last month on the way to becoming the youngest-ever WTA 1000 champion.
