Indian Wells women’s semi-finals: how to watch tennis live streams online and on TV

We’ve reached the business end of the Indian Wells tournament as just four players remain. Defending champion Iga Swiatek is first up today as she takes on rising Russian star Mirra Andreeva before Australian Open champion Madison Keys plays top seed Aryna Sabalenka.

Read on and we'll show you how to watch the 2025 Indian Wells women’s semi-finals from anywhere with a VPN.

Indian Wells always attracts a high-quality field so it is no surprise to see four of the world’s very best players in the semi-finals. First up on Court 1 is defending champion and second seed Swiatek who has been in sensational form in California. The Pole has yet to drop a set and cruised past eighth seed Qinwen Zheng in the quarter-finals.

However, she now faces a huge test against teen sensation Andreeva. The 17-year-old triumphed in Dubai earlier this year and has also yet to drop a set at Indian Wells, with her most impressive performance coming as she cruised past Elena Rybakina 6-1 6-2.

The second semi-final is equally mouthwatering as it pits world number one Sabalenka against home favorite Keys. A rematch of the Australian Open final, the Belarusian will be seeking revenge for her loss in Melbourne but will face an opponent in the form of her life and playing in front of a home crowd.

You won’t want to miss any of the action so read on for all of the TV and streaming details and how you can watch the Indian Wells women’s semi-finals from anywhere.
