Naomi Osaka and Amanda Anisimova both competed in the Indian Wells Open but suffered second-round exits. Osaka lost to Veronika Kudermetova while Anisimova retired against Leylah Fernandez.
The Japanese came back from a set down to beat Sloane Stephens and reach the second round. She then took on Veronika Kudermetova and things started poorly for her as she was heckled by a spectator in the second game of the match. Osaka broke down in tears but managed to finish the match, losing 6-0. 6-4
Anisimova started strongly by beating compatriot Emma Navarro 6-2, 6-2 to reach the second round where she faced Leylah Fernandez. The 20-year-old cruised through the first set, winning it 6-2 and had a few match points in the second. However, she could not convert them and the Canadian won the set in a tie-break.
Anisimova then retired from the match, saying she was feeling ill.
"Unfortunately, I've been quite sick the last few days and yesterday I woke up feeling very ill. I wanted to try and push through it in the match and continue playing the tournament," Anisimova wrote. "I couldn't go on with the match anymore because I felt like I was putting my health at risk at that point."
"It's disappointing for me to end this week like this, but that's just the way it is sometimes. I'll try to be better next time. I'll look forward to getting back on court soon. And please keep your negative comments to yourself."
