The biggest attraction of this week's tour is the competition for Indian Wells, which has the reputation of "the fifth grand slam", which has always been a must for top players.
So which female players have won the final singles title in the past decade? Let's take a look!
2012: Azarenka
The 2012 season for belarusians was brilliant, with her first Grand Slam women's singles title at the Australian Open at the beginning of the year, until Shearers won four consecutive tournaments (26 consecutive wins in the beginning of the year, including Sydney, Australian Open, Doha and Indian Wells).
2013: Sharapova
Sharapova, who has been retired for two years, also played well in Indian Wells, reaching the final in 2013 with consecutive victories over Schiavani, Navarro and Kirilenko, and finally swept Wozniacki to win the title, which was her second time here after the 2006 season.
2014: Pennetta
Peneta's 2014 victory surprised fans when the Italian veteran, who was only the 20th seed at the tournament, reached the final and won the crown crown for the first time with a victory over A. Radwanska.
2015: Halep
Halep's performance at the beginning of the 2015 season was equally outstanding, she won two consecutive races in Shenzhen and Dubai, and moved to North America to win the Indian Wells championship for the first time, when she defeated Yankovic in the final.
2016: Azarenka
Azarenka won consecutive titles in Indian Wells and Miami in the 2016 season, an achievement comparable to winning a Grand Slam title (accumulating 2,000 points), but that year Azarenka briefly withdrew from tennis due to pregnancy.
2017: Vesnina
Vesnina, who has always been known as a doubles master, does not have many highlights in singles, but winning the Indian Wells Championship in 2016 was definitely the biggest shining point, when she reached the final and beat Kuznetsova to win the heaviest singles title trophy of her career.
2018: Naomi Osaka
Born in 1997, Naomi Osaka's first career title was at a high level event like Indian Wells, when Japanese players won against top players such as Sharapova, A. Radwanska, Ka Pliskova and Halep.
2019: Andreescu
Andreescu's 2019 summit was also very convincing, with her victory over Begu, Cibulkova, Wang Qiang, Muguruza and Korbel.
2021: Bardoza
2020 was not held due to the epidemic, the 2021 women's singles champion belongs to Bardoza, as the defending champion of this year's competition, Bardoza is the No. 5 seed of the tournament, and the Spanish player who byes in the first round will face the winner between Martinkova and the qualifiers in the second round.
