He now holds a 14-4 record on the season, having defeated [Jan-Lennard Struff](https://www.atptour.com/en/players/jan-lennard-struff/sl28/overview) in his opening match in Indian Wells.

Garcia holds off Fernandez at Indian Wells; into Round of 16 (WTA Tennis)

Caroline Garcia needed three sets to take down 30th-seeded Leylah Fernandez on Monday at Indian Wells. Garcia will next face Sorana Cirstea.

Garcia forged only a single break point in the first set -- and converted it. The set played out predictably with Garcia prevailing comfortably in 34 minutes. Still only 20, the Canadian is ranked No.49 and has a record of 9-6. This time, Garcia’s power -- on a slower court, in heavier conditions -- gave her a more pronounced advantage. I put more pressure on her and am very happy with the win.” The No.5 seed is through to the Round of 16 here for the fourth time but has never been further.

Indian Wells: Felix Auger-Aliassime secured his spot in the Last-16 with a straight-sets win over Francisco Cerundolo, and will meet Tommy Paul next.

A break each early on saw the two reach the business end of the first set at 5-4 to the Pole, who - on Paul's serve - then pulled out the stops to take it on his first set point. The second set looked like it was going to be an altogether more straightforward affair for Auger-Aliassime, as he broke his opponent twice, the second time to go 5-2 up and the match seemingly at his mercy. Auger-Aliassime, the eighth seed, was the heavy favourite against Cerundolo but it was nip and tuck in the first set with the Canadian breaking first - in the very first game - but then seeing his advantage taken back by the dogged Cerundolo, who forged ahead at 5-4.

Felix Auger-Aliassime had to briefly stop playing when he accidentally hit himself in the face with his racket.

Auger-Aliassime eventually took the opening set after 75 minutes and advanced to the round-of-16 for the first time in Indian Wells with a 7-5 6-4 victory over Cerundolo. And it was suddenly all one-way traffic for the Argentine, who broke the eighth seed in the next game. But with the 27th seed serving in the third game, the Canadian suddenly had to stop play when he started bleeding. Former pro Laura Robson commented that it appeared that his face was being glued back together when the physio arrived and started working on the cut. It will need a proper clean post-match and then maybe even a stitch to be honest, it's quite a big cut." As he sat down, it became apparent that the blood was coming from his chin as a large cut had formed.

For the third straight year, Tommy Paul defeated a top-10 player in Indian Wells; he has advanced to the Round of 16, matching his best effort here.

Wawrinka Continues Indian Wells Run | ATP Tour | Tennis (ATP Tour)

Stan Wawrinka recovered from a second-set collapse against Holger Rune at the BNP Paribas Open Monday, overcoming the seventh seed 6-2, 6-7(5), 7-5.

Defending champion Fritz was a 6-1, 6-2 winner against 30th seed [Sebastian Baez](https://www.atptour.com/en/players/sebastian-baez/b0bi/overview), with Fusovics sealing a 6-4, 6-2 result against [Alex Molcan](https://www.atptour.com/en/players/alex-molcan/mv14/overview) at roughly the same time on Monday afternoon. In the one-hour, 10-minute match, Fritz lost just three points on first serve (21/24) and finished with 19 winners. The fifth seed served for a 6-0 second set but instead served out the win to love on his second attempt. Fucsovics was also off the court quickly, requiring one hour, 18 minutes to move past Molcan. But he buckled when trying to close out, committing forehand errors to lose both service points from 5/2 in the tie-break. However, the Swiss star squandered one match point on serve at 5-3 and a 5/2 lead in the second-set tie-break, giving the 19-year-old Rune a foothold into the match. However, Wawrinka would not be denied, winning 85 per cent (17/20) of his first-serve points in the third set to prevail. I had the match in control, was playing well. He is turning back time this week in California, having also defeated I am super happy with the win." I was putting a lot of pressure, I should have won the match way before.

Emma Raducanu outlasts Beatriz Haddad Maia at Indian Wells (The Guardian)

The former US Open champion defeated the Brazilian 13th-seed 6-1, 2-6, 6-4 in the third round in California.

Raducanu spent much of her 2022 struggling to figure out the game style that most suited her abilities. Early on, Raducanu was charged with setting the pace and she did not hesitate to impose herself from inside the baseline. I was really happy with how I managed to regain my focus and intensity, and come back in the third.” Unseeded at Indian Wells and ranked 77th, Raducanu outfought and outhit the 13th-seed Haddad Maia 6-1, 2-6, 6-4 to reach the fourth round at the Indian Wells WTA 1000 event for the first time in her career. “I’m extremely happy with the way I fought and dug in [during] the third set,” said Raducanu. By the middle of an exhausting, quality final third set, it would have been reasonable to conclude that she had Raducanu exactly where she wanted.
