Daniil Medvedev ended defending champion Jack Draper's run at Indian Wells with a 6-1, 7-5 win on Thursday, securing a spot in the semi-finals. Meanwhile, Elina Svitolina produced a stunning 6-2, 4-6, 6-4 victory over world number two Iga Swiatek.

World number one Aryna Sabalenka also advanced to the last four after a hard-fought 7-6(0), 6-4 win against Canadian teenager Victoria Mboko.

Medvedev dominated the opening set against Draper, who had little time to recover following his three-set win over Novak Djokovic on Wednesday. Draper raised his level in the second set, keeping pace with the 11th seed at 5-5, but Medvedev secured a late break before serving out the match.

"The first set was unreal, I couldn't miss a ball. It was an unbelievable level," Medvedev said. "Second set, he tried to give everything he had, and he had an opportunity. I had one at four-all, I should've done much better, but it happens."

The 30-year-old Russian has now reached the semi-finals at Indian Wells for the fourth consecutive year and will next face either Carlos Alcaraz or Cameron Norrie.

Earlier, fourth seed Alexander Zverev defeated Frenchman Arthur Fils 6-2, 6-3 and will face world number two Jannik Sinner, who made light work of American Learner Tien 6-1, 6-2 in just over an hour.

Svitolina Stuns Swiatek

Swiatek struggled early against Svitolina, with the Ukrainian capitalizing on five double faults to earn three breaks and take the opening set in 38 minutes. Swiatek found her rhythm in the second set to force a decider, but Svitolina regained the upper hand with a single crucial break in the third set before confidently serving out the match.

"I'm extremely happy, it was a tough match," said Svitolina, reaching the semi-finals for the first time in seven years. "Iga always brings a bit extra out of me with that fighting spirit. I had to really push myself to close that match."

Sabalenka Survives Rising Star Mboko

Belarusian Sabalenka faced a strong challenge from rising talent Mboko. The top seed was pushed to a first-set tiebreak, which she won 7-0 — a career first. The second set saw Mboko fight back to 5-4, threatening another tiebreak, but four-time Grand Slam champion Sabalenka closed it out to advance.

"She is definitely a future Grand Slam champion," Sabalenka said. "It's incredible to see how brave these young girls are these days."

Sabalenka, 27, will face Linda Noskova in the semi-finals. Noskova ended Australian qualifier Talia Gibson's fairytale run 6-2, 4-6, 6-2, marking her second WTA 1000 semi-final and her first at Indian Wells.

Australian Open champion Elena Rybakina also advanced with a 6-1, 7-6(4) win over Jessica Pegula. She will meet Svitolina in the other semi-final.
