Emma Raducanu suffered a first-round defeat at Indian Wells, losing 6-3, 6-2 to Japan's Moyuka Uchijima. Raducanu's recent struggles continue, with this being her sixth loss in her last seven matches. The windy conditions at the tournament posed a challenge for both players, but Uchijima handled them better. Raducanu's new coach will need to work on improving her second serve performance. Despite the loss, Raducanu can now focus on training with her coach before the next tournament in Miami.
