Photos: Indian Wells Rolls Into Second Week
INDIAN WELLS, Calif. (AP) -- Top-seeded Caroline Wozniacki of Denmark has opened the second week of the BNP Paribas Open with a 6-1, 6-3 victory over Maria Jose Martinez Sanchez of Spain in the third round.
The world's top-ranked women's player needed just over an hour to beat Martinez Sanchez on Monday for the first time in four meetings.
Wozniacki has improved her results in each of her first four years playing at Indian Wells, where she was runner-up to champion Jelena Jankovic last year.
There have been two upsets on the men's side: fourth-seeded Robin Soderling of Sweden and No. 11 seed Nicolas Almagro of Spain both lost.
Soderling fell to No. 32 seed Philipp Kohlschreiber of Germany, 7-6 (8), 6-4; while 23rd-seeded Albert Montanes of Spain took out Almagro 4-6, 6-2, 6-4.
