Two-time Wimbledon champion Petra Kvitova, on the comeback trail seven months after giving birth to a son, was ousted in the first round at Indian Wells on Wednesday by France's 70th-ranked Varvara Gracheva.

Naomi Osaka was bundled out of the first round at Indian Wells on Wednesday, falling 6-4, 6-4 to Camila Osorio in the Japanese star's first tournament since injury forced her out of the Australian Open.

Gracheva, the World No. 70, notched her first win over Kvitova, whom she had lost to 7-5, 7-6 (5) in the 2023 Miami fourth round. The result was the Frenchwoman's first victory in Indian Wells since making the last 16 in the same year. She will next face No. 9 seed Mirra Andreeva in the second round.
