class=\"ciam-article-t365\">\n<p>Amanda Anisimova is set to do battle with Emma Raducanu in Indian Wells, and the world No 6 is fully aware of the challenge she could face from the 2021 US Open champion.<\/p>\n<p>Sixth seed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/amanda-anisimova\">Anisimova<\/a> and 25th seed <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tag\/emma-raducanu\">Raducanu<\/a> will face off for the first time in 2026 when they meet in Indian Wells on Sunday, after both women secured impressive opening wins at the tournament on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>After receiving an opening-round bye, Raducanu was the first of the two on court on Friday and wasted little time in progressing to the third round, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/emma-raducanu-rankings-breakthrough-indian-wells-win\">making light work of Anastasia Zakharova in a 6-1, 6-3 triumph<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, world No 6 and home favourite Anisimova faced a slightly sterner test early on against Anna Blinkova, though rallied from dropping the opening set to prevail 5-7, 6-1, 6-0.<\/p>\n<p>The two are known to share a close relationship off the court, and this will be the fourth meeting between the two, with Raducanu holding a narrow 2-1 head-to-head advantage.<\/p>\n<p>The Brit defeated Anisimova in straight sets in the second round of the Australian Open last January, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/emma-raducanu-huge-rankings-breakthrough-miami-open-win\">before a comprehensive 6-1, 6-3 win over the American at the Miami Open twelve months ago<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>However, Anisimova earned her revenge at the Canadian Open last August, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-features\/emma-raducanu-biggest-fear-amanda-anisimova\">comfortably dispatching Raducanu 6-2, 6-1 in the third round<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Anisimova surged up the WTA Rankings in 2025 and is now well established as a top-10 player, arguably making her a warm favourite for this encounter.<\/p>\n<h2>Tennis News<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/victoria-mboko-rankings-rise-indian-wells-win\">Victoria Mboko\u2019s stunning ranking rise continues after opening Indian Wells win<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tennis365.com\/tennis-news\/iga-swiatek-drops-4th-coco-gauff-8th-aryna-sabalenka-alternative-rankings\">Iga Swiatek drops to world No 4, Aryna Sabalenka has narrow lead, Coco Gauff 8th \u2013 alternative rankings<\/a><\/p>\n<p>However, when speaking about Raducanu in her press conference on Friday, the 24-year-old certainly did not underestimate the threat the Brit could pose.<\/p>\n<p>She said: \u201cI think the last time I faced her, I was just playing really well. I played the way I wanted to play.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYeah, at the end of the day, I mean, there is a certain way I like to play. I think I also had found my rhythm. I think it might have been the second or third match I played [against Raducanu] last year.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYeah, it was a great match. She\u2019s not an easy opponent to face. She always brings high-quality tennis.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYeah, I have had some great matches with her. Hoping for another good one.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>An official order of play for Sunday is yet to be announced, but this is one of the highest-profile third-round matches taking place \u2014 and will likely receive a preferable court allocation.<\/p>\n<p>Whoever triumphs will match their career-best run in Indian Wells, with Anisimova having reached the fourth round on debut in 2018, and Raducanu having progressed to that stage in 2023.<\/p>\n<p>The victorious player will face either tenth seed Victoria Mboko or 23rd seed Anna Kalinskaya in the second round.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Want more from Tennis365?
