Barbora is now #13 with the points from 2022 IW dropped off the rankings, let's hope she rises some more over the next two weeks

Nice mention of Barbora in this article
www.theguardian.com
Most players understandably cower against the WTA’s dominant star in such form, but Barbora Krejcikova has consistently proved her toughness and quality in the biggest moments of her career. With an exhibition of daring, early ball-striking and her deep toolbox of variety, the Czech toppled Swiatek in straight sets. She is the only player since 2019 to defeat Swiatek in a final, a distinction she has now achieved twice.

On the notoriously slow courts of Indian Wells, however, they face their own challenges. Sabalenka, who lost in three sets against Krejcikova in Dubai, will look to build her form again in the bottom half of the draw. Rybakina, seeded 10th, can only face Swiatek in the quarter-final.
Krejcikova, meanwhile, offers a completely different challenge. Her immaculate timing and soft hands allow her to redirect from any part of the court and generate wicked angles, her heavy forehand is one of the best in the world and she possesses a complete game refined on the doubles court. Her talent is undeniable.
Krejcikova, now 27, initially followed up her shock 2021 French Open triumph well but an elbow injury forced her out for four months in 2022 and broke down her confidence. Only now has she re-established her form and her status as one of the biggest threats.
Iga Swiatek still the one to beat at Indian Wells but challengers lining up
The Pole is world No 1 but Aryna Sabalenka won the Australian Open and Barbora Krejcikova beat Swiatek in Dubai

I hate how Bara's success is framed as a problem for IGA.
For example here is a CZ article, not an interview/not saying anything new, mostly a summary of selected international quotes... The article isn't really bad, but the title and the beginning are so much IGA bashing, it is sooooo annoying.
<I>Krejčíková destroys the aura of Šwiateková. Polish player won't want to see her anymore, the experts are amazed</i>
Krejčíková ničí auru Šwiatekové. Polka ji už nebude chtít vidět, žasnou experti | Aktuálně.cz
I don't want a dull, angry, American-style rivalry. I want them to remain themselves, have fun with each other - and put the battle on when it comes to it on the court, preferably in the final. And they want that as well, training together and so on.
Why can't the personal respect be mirrored in the reporting?
If I could magically decide IW&M results, I'd actually wish to have them to meet twice, and for IGA to win one of those, probably the IW. I have Barbora on first place, but I don't want her to be known only as Iga slayer.
