Caroline Garcia moved into the fourth round at Indian Wells with a clinical 6-4 6-7 6-1 win over Leylah Fernandez on Monday while Ukrainian Lesia Tsurenko withdrew from her match after a talk with the WTA boss that she says triggered a panic attack.
Shortly before her match on Monday organisers announced that Tsurenko had withdrawn for personal reasons. "Officially it will be written 'personal reasons', but in fact it is breathing problems and, one might say, hysteria," said Tsurenko."I was absolutely shocked by what I heard. Responding to a request for comment, the WTA told Reuters it has"consistently reflected our full support for Ukraine and strongly condemn the actions that have been brought forth by the Russian Government."Garcia only had one break opportunity herself in the first set but made it count nosing in front up 2-1 and then holding serve to take the opener.
