Here's more sending news for March 11th. Australia's 21-year-old Talia Gibson pulled off the biggest win of her career at the Indian Wells Open. She beat World No. 7 Jasmine Paulini in three sets to reach the quarterfinals. This marched the first time an Australian woman has gotten this far since Casey DeLacua back in 2014. Gibson started as a qualifier and is now beaten four opponents in a row. Her victories include American Anne Lee, 11th-seated Ekaterina Alexandraba, and 17th ranked Clara Towson. She's also cracked into the WTA top 100 for the first time this week. Plus, she's the first qualifier to hit the quarters here in 11 years. Fans and experts are buzzing about her rise. The match lasted just over two hours, with Gibson breaking serve five times despite some double faults. She faces either 14th-seated Lyndon Nescova, or Alexandra Ayala next. Meanwhile, World No. 1, Arena Saba-Lenka stayed on her winning streak. She took down

the Omiosaka in straight sets, 6264. Saba-Lenka brought her new puppy to the post-match chat and says it's been a game-changer. The pup, a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, named Ash after tennis legend Arthur Ash, gives her mental health support. Saba-Lenka says Petting Ash keeps her calm and settled, especially when tensions rise on court. She's dominating as the top ring player. This story is shared with support from our sponsor.
